Overview
The XML library serializes and de-serilizes XML without changing or losing data. To load the XML helper manually you may do this:
load::library('xml');
Serializing XML
To turn XML into an array that you can manipulate just do this:
$xml = '<html>
<head>
<title>My Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello, World!</p>
</body>
</html>';
$data = xml::parse($xml);
xml::parse will return FALSE if the supplied XML is invalid. Otherwise, it will return an array.
De-serializing XML
To turn serialized XML back into XML do this:
$xml = xml::build($data);
