Types of XML
There are two types of XML -
- Tree based XML
- Event based XML
XML Parser Extensions
The xml parser extensions works based on libxml. The following below xml parsers are available in core PHP.
- Simple XML Parser
- Dom XML Parser
- XML Parser
- XML Reader
Simple XML Parser
Simple xml parser also called a tree based xml parser is used for parsing the simple xml file. It calls the simplexml_load_file() method to get access to the xml file from a specific path.
Dom Parser
Dom parser also called a complex node parser, is used for parsing highly complex xml files. It is used as interface to modify the xml file. The Dom parser is encoded with the UTF-8 character encoding.
XML Parser
The xml parser is based on a SAX parse. It is more faster than all the above parsers. It will create and parse the xml files. The xml parser is encoded by ISO-8859-1, US-ASCII and UTF-8 character encoding.
XML Reader
The xml reader parser also know as Pull xml parser, is used to read the xml file in a more faster manner. The xml reader works with a high complex xml document with an xml validation.
