Interface for the PHP XML Pull parser XMLReader that adds super-simplified xpath functionality. This is ideal for reading huge xml files without the memory costs of other xml libraries (eg SImpleXMLElement).

$xml = SimpleXmlReader::openFromString(' <root> <animal type="cat"> <hastail>yes</hastail> </animal> <animal type="dog"> <hastail>yes</hastail> </animal> <animal type="kakariki"> <hastail>no</hastail> </animal> </root>');
foreach($xml->path('root/animal') as$animal) {
// $animal is of type SimpleXMLElelent// only the current iterated $animal is in memory, so huge xml files can be read, without much memory consumptionecho"A {$animal->attributes()->type} has a tail? {$animal->hastail}!\n";
}
