This method creates an XML document. It will instantiate an object depending on the specified type.

Syntax

object &getXMLParser ( $type, $options ) | $type | string | is a string containing the type of XML object to return. This parameter can be 'DOM', 'RSS' or 'Simple', which will create a DOMIT object, a DOMIT RSS object or a [references:joomla.framework:utilities:jsimplexml | JSimpleXML] object respectively. This parameter is optional and if omitted defaults to 'DOM'. | | $options | array | is an array containing options for the XML object. | Recognized array elements:

* * boolean ['lite'] - When using 'DOM' if true or not defined then domit_lite is used.
* * string ['rssUrl'] - The RSS URL to parse when using 'RSS'.
* * string ['cache_time'] - When using 'RSS' - feed cache time. If not defined defaults to 3600 sec.

Examples

$xmldoc =& JFactory::getXMLParser( 'Simple' );
$xmlstring = 
"<product>
<name>Telephone</name>
<price>$29.95</price>
<manufacturer>CAMNAI Manufacturing Company</manufacturer>
</product>
";

if ( $xmldoc->loadString( $xmlstring ) ) {
* echo "String successfully loaded!";
} else {
* echo "Something didn't work!";
}

might produce:

String successfully loaded!
