The built-in DOM parser makes it possible to process XML documents in PHP.
The XML DOM Parser
The DOM parser is a tree-based parser.
Look at the following XML document fraction:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<from>Jani</from>
The DOM sees the XML above as a tree structure:
- Level 1: XML Document
- Level 2: Root element: <from>
- Level 3: Text element: “Jani”
