Format conversions

The extension also provides a utility class. The main method provided by this class is a XML to array conversion utility, which transforms a XML structure into a PHP array without losing any information. This method is simply called as:

$phpArray = \Cobweb\Svconnector\Utility\ConnectorUtility::convertXmlToArray($xml)

Of course one’s own conversion method may be used if needed. The conversion from a PHP array to a XML structure can safely rely on TYPO3 CMS API. e.g.:

$xml = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::array2xml_cs($phpArray);

Again one’s own conversion method may be used if needed.
