laravel-gramps-xml

This package provides easy-to-use services for reading and writing XML files in Laravel applications.

Installation

To install the package, run the following command in your Laravel project:

composer require liberu/laravel-gramps-xml

Usage

XmlReader

To read an XML file, use the XmlReader service. Here's a basic example:

// Import the XmlReader class
use LaravelGrampsXml\XmlReader;

// Create an instance of the XmlReader
$xmlReader = new XmlReader();

try {
    // Attempt to read the XML file
    $xmlContent = $xmlReader->read('path/to/your/file.xml');
    // If successful, $xmlContent will contain the contents of the XML file
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // Handle any errors that occur during the read operation
    echo "Error reading XML file: " . $e->getMessage();
}

XmlWriter

To write to an XML file in the GRAMPS XML format, use the XmlWriter service. Here's an example:

use LaravelGrampsXml\XmlWriter;

$xmlWriter = new XmlWriter();
$xmlWriter->write('path/to/your/file.xml', $xmlContent);

// Validate the XML content against the grampsxml.dtd format
if ($xmlWriter->validateXmlContent($xmlContent)) {
    echo "XML content is valid";
} else {
    echo "XML content is not valid";
}

// This will write $xmlContent to the specified XML file in the GRAMPS XML format

private function validateXmlContent($xmlContent) { // Add code to validate XML content against grampsxml.dtd format // Return true if valid, false otherwise }
