AW: AW: [PEAR-DEV] Package Proposal XML_Parser_Assoc

Hi, > What my package specifically does different is: > * segregates attributes and sub-elements into different assoc arrays > -This is good because attributes are unique while > sub-elements are not > * Always puts sub-elements into an array. > -This allows for one way to access elements instead of > multiple ways. > You don't have to do an is_array() to see if an element has multiples > before you try to access it. You can still access a specific > element easily: > $subElem = (is_array($elem['subElem']) ? $elem['subElem'][0] : > $elem['subElem']) in XML_Unserializer would be > $elem['subElements']['subElem'][0] with the new package OR > XML_Parser_Assoc::getElement($elem['subElements'], > array('subElem')); > * CData in an element with sub-elements is picked up, unlike > XML_Unserializer I could easily integrate these features in XML_Unserializer so you can switch between the two behaviours. So I don't think that this package should be integrated in PEAR as it duplicates functionality. Stephan
