[ANNOUNCEMENT] XML_Serializer-0.14.0 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package XML_Serializer-0.14.0 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- Serializer: - new option 'encodeFunction' to apply a PHP function to character data and attributes before serializing the data Unserializer: - Does no longer extend XML_Parser (allows to change encoding at runtime), this could break some scripts - new option 'targetEncoding' to specify the target encoding for character data - new option 'decodeFunction' to apply a PHP function on character data and attributes while unserializing the document - some tiny whitespace fixes Global: - new requires XML_Parser 1.2.2 and XML_Util 1.1.0 Package Info ------------- XML_Serializer serializes complex data structures like arrays or object as XML documents. This class helps you generating any XML document you require without the need for DOM. Furthermore this package can be used as a replacement to serialize() and unserialize() as it comes with a matching XML_Unserializer that is able to create PHP data structures (like arrays and objects) from XML documents, if type hints are available. If you use the XML_Unserialzer on standard XML files, it will try to guess how it has to be unserialized. In most cases it does exactly what you expect it to do. Try reading a RSS file with XML_Unserializer and you have the whole RSS file in a structured array or even a collection of objects, similar to XML_RSS. Since version 0.8 the package is able to treat XML documents like the simplexml extension of PHP 5.
