XML Document Parser for Laravel and PHP

Parser Component is a framework agnostic package that provide a simple way to parse XML to array without having to write a complex logic.

Imagine if you can parse

<api>
    <user followers="5">
        <id>1</id>
        <email>crynobone@gmail.com</email>
    </user>
</api>

to

$user = [
    'id' => '1',
    'email' => 'crynobone@gmail.com',
    'followers' => '5'
];

by just writing this:

$xml = XmlParser::load('path/to/above.xml');
$user = $xml->parse([
    'id' => ['uses' => 'user.id'],
    'email' => ['uses' => 'user.email'],
    'followers' => ['uses' => 'user::followers'],
]);
