MiniXML provides a simple, API to generating and parsing XML. Its advantages are ease-of-use and the fact that no additional libraries are required. It comes with two independant implementations, 100% PHP and 100% Perl, which you can use seperately.

News

Version 1.38 has arrived! MiniXML has been touched up in numerous ways to support the VoiceXML::Client voicexml browser/interpreter.

MiniXML is a set of PHP classes and Perl modules that allow you to access XML data and create valid XML output with a tree-based hierarchy of elements.

It provides an easy, object-oriented interface for manipulating XML documents and their elements.

It is currently being used to send requests and understand responses from remote servers in PHP and Perl applications, such as shiphp.

MiniXML does not require any external libraries or modules.

Currently, in the name of speed and simplicity, MiniXML is not interested in DTDs and will therefore not validate XML against a Document Type Definition. If you are interested in having this functionality (or some other), please let us know.

You can have a look at the overview and some example code. There's an example using MiniXML to generate HTML included in the package.

The API is available for the MiniXMLDoc and MiniXMLElement classes.

You can download the module.
