FluentDOM 5.1 - New Features

FluentDOM 5.1 is now available. Here are some of the highlights:

Functors 

The classes can now be called as functions to navigate in a DOM with XPath expressions. The following example fetches all link hrefs attributes from an HTML page:

$dom = new \FluentDOM\Document();
$dom->loadHTMLFile('http://fluentdom.org/');

$links = [];
foreach ($dom('//a[@href]/@href') as $href) {
  $links[] = (string)$href;
}

This works for most of the nodes in a DOM. 

Creator

The new Creator class provides short syntax to create DOM nodes. More detailed information can be found in the wiki.

$_ = FluentDOM::create();
echo $_(
  'ul',
  ['class' => 'navigation'],
  $_('li', 'FluentDOM')
);

XML To JSON

Several serializers/loaders for JSON where added. JSONML, Rayfish, BadgerFish and RabbitFish are supported.

echo "XML -> JsonML\n\n";
$json = json_encode(
  new FluentDOM\Serializer\Json\JsonML($dom), 
  JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
echo $json;

echo "\n\nJsonML -> XML\n\n";
echo FluentDOM(
  $json, 'application/jsonml+json')->formatOutput();
