Kohana_XML is a XML modules to generate and read XML documents in Kohana.
|
|||
|
|
It is build for KO3, but there are barely one or two lines that makes it KO3 specific,
|
|||
|
|
so I guess it should work for KO2.x without much trouble.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

## Notable Features
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* **Extendible, configurable drivers** — You can use the XML class to write simple XML,
|
|||
|
|
or use the Atom driver to generate Atom compliant XML, or write your own driver (extending XML
|
|||
|
|
or another driver) to generate XML compliant to any specs you want. Driver support initial
|
|||
|
|
configuration, which will be used when using native functions, and your own function.
|
|||
|
|
Namespaces and prefix, value filters, default attributes, node name abstraction are all part
|
|||
|
|
of driver configuration and are then used as such by native functions, so they are dealt with
|
|||
|
|
on the fly. But you can also write your own function very easily in your drivers, and writing
|
|||
|
|
an add_author($user_model) function in the Atom driver would take a second.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* **Dealing with objects of the same class whatever function you use** – $xml→add_node(“test”);
|
|||
|
|
generates another XML instance of the same driver you can add nodes to, import array or XML files
|
|||
|
|
to, search in, modify, export, combine… The whole XML document becomes modular, easy to read and
|
|||
|
|
to modify, and to run through with method chaining. Just play Lego with your XML.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* **Magic get and get()** — allows to easily run through the document. For instance
|
|||
|
|
$atom→author→name will return an atom document author’s name, this regardless of your driver
|
|||
|
|
configuration. As another example of node name abstraction, if you’ve decided to abstract “pubDate”
|
|||
|
|
with “updated” in your RSS2 driver configuration and “published” with “updated” in you Atom driver,
|
|||
|
|
then $atom→updated will give you the same result as $rss→updated.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* **Jelly-style driver configuration** — I liked the way Jelly initializes its models, so you can
|
|||
|
|
configure yours just the same way. Driver configuration then goes into a static meta class, which
|
|||
|
|
improves performance.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* You can still use **DOM functions** if you wish and reintegrate in Kohana_XML
