README

You pass an url to a HTML page, it builds an array or JSON structure representing the DOM. Framework agnostic.

Install

composer require tadaspaplauskas/dom-to-array

Do not forget to require autoload file if your framework doesn't do that for you.

Sample usage

<?php

require 

use DomToArray\Client;

$client = new Client('http://info.cern.ch');

// returns tree representing DOM
$tree = $client->array();

// returns JSON representation of the same tree structure
// you can pass a json_encode() option to it,
// which defaults to JSON_PRETTY_PRINT
$json = $client->json();

echo $json;

Will output:
