Some minutes ago I released version 0.2.0 of XJConf for PHP. XJConf allows to create simple to complex object structures from XML configuration files. [...] If you are already using version 0.1.2 you should definitely upgrade to the new version, as it offers more features as well as a simplified access to XJConf itself via the new facade.

Updates in this new version include the definition of abstract tags, the possibility to declare tags as static and the ability to use the XJConfFacade for a simplified usage of XJConf. Check out the project's Trac page for more information.

XJConfForPHP, the XML-to-object-mapper, Frank Kleine and me are working on is now available as a daily snapshot from snaps.php-tools.net.

XJConfForPHP is a "flexible solution to parse XML documents and create PHP data structures".

XJConf allows you to map complex XML documents to data structures by defining the mapping rules in a simple XML-based language. You may define the type for each tag (objects, arrays, primitives) as well as how its attributes, child elements and enclosed character data should be treated. When creating objects, you may also define the setter methods to nest the objects.

There are examples and documentation if you'd like to give it a try and, when you're ready, you can grab it from their PEAR channel or http://svn.xjconf.net/XJConfForPHP/
