XML Serializer

###Requirement

• PHP 5 < above

###Introduction

The xml serializer takes an object or an array of objects and parse it in a well formed xml structure. If you need attributes you can define it with php annotations like @xmlattributes[key => value]

###Example

First we create two models order and customer

class Order 
{
	public $id = 1;
	public $name = "order";
	//private properties will ignored
	private $price = 25.55;
	/**
	* @xmlattributes[key => value, type => array]
	*/
	public $customers = null;
}

class Customer
{
	public $firstname = "Max";
	public $lastname = "Mustermann";
{

Now we instantiate an array of objects and serialize this in an xml structure.

class index
{
	$order = new Order();
	
	$customer = new Customer();
	$nextCustomer = new Customer();
	
	$order->$customers[] = $customer;
	$order->$customers[] = $nextCustomer;
	
	$orders["orders"][] = $order;
	$orders["orders"][] = new Order();
	
	$xmlSerializer = new XMLSerializer();
		
	$xmlSerializer->parseObjectToXML($orders);
}

That is the result after parsing through the xml serializer

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<orders>
	<order>
		<id><![CDATA[1]]></id>
		<name><![CDATA[order]]></name>
		<customers key="value" type="array">
			<customer>
				<firstname>Max</firstname>
				<lastname>Mustermann</lastname>
			</customer>
			<customer>
				<firstname>Max</firstname>
				<lastname>Mustermann</lastname>
			</customer>
		</customers>
	</order>
	<order>
		<id><![CDATA[1]]></id>
		<name><![CDATA[order]]></name>
		<customers key="value" type="array"/>
	</order>
</orders>
