PHP XML 序列化程序

Question

Is there some php libraries which implement serialization of data to XML-format like serialize() and unserialize() (with restoring objects from XML) functions of objects with private and protected fields?

PEAR XML_Serializer works fine with type hints option, but it doen't deal with protected fields.

Answer 1

The Symfony Serializer Component provides serialize() and deserialize() methods and supports multiple formats out of the box: XML, JSON, YAML...

It is included with Symfony but you can use it even in a non Symfony project , by installing it with composer:

composer require symfony/serializer

If you use the ObjectNormalizer as shown in the documentation example , don't forget to also install symfony/property-access .

Answer 2

Hoping this is not considered spamming, but I've been working on a library that deals with serializing and deserialing objects from and to XML.

However, it doesn't do exactly what you're asking. Every object you want to serialize needs to implement a serializeXML and deserializeXML method. In this method you can decide exactly what you need to implement.

If you do plan to use this, I would actually be happy to include the exact feature you want as a PHP 5.4 trait. Just send me a message (you can find my info on github).
