Creating objects from xml-data
$begingroup$
I've got an xml file with some info about hosts connected to my home network and I would like to create objects containing that info in a neat way. So that I can make some nice front-end application with that data later on.
This is how I do it:
- Loading the xml
- Encoding it into json
- Making an array from the json
- Making a simpler array from the last array
- Creates objects from the array
- Done!
My question to you is: Is this the way to do it, or is there some better way? Am I missing something obvious? Is this the way to do it the "oop" way?
Trying to learn this, so all constructive feedback is welcome!
class Host {
public $ipv4, $mac;
public function __construct($ipv4, $mac){
$this->ipv4 = $ipv4;
$this->mac = $mac;
}
}
class PagesController extends Controller
{
public function index(){
// Get xml with hosts that are connected to local network
$xml = file_get_contents("C:/test.xml");
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml, "SimpleXMLElement", LIBXML_NOCDATA);
$json = json_encode($xml);
$array = json_decode($json,TRUE);
// put all hosts in separate array (to make it easier to work with when creating an object further down)
foreach ($array['host'] as $hostKey => $hostValue) {
foreach ($hostValue['address'] as $addressKey => $addressValue) {
foreach ($addressValue['@attributes'] as $attributeKey => $attributeValue) {
$hosts['host'.$hostKey]['address'.$addressKey][$attributeKey] = $attributeValue;
}
}
}
// Create object from array created earlier
foreach ($hosts as $hostKey => $hostValue) {
if(isset($hostValue)){
foreach ($hostValue as $addressKey => $addressValue) {
if(isset($addressValue)){
if(isset($addressValue['addrtype'])){
// ipv4 ?
if($addressValue['addrtype'] == 'ipv4'){
$ipv4 = $addressValue['addr'];
// or mac-address?
} elseif($addressValue['addrtype'] == 'mac'){
$mac = $addressValue['addr'];
}
}
}
}
}
// Skapa ett objekt som heter host+$hostKey
$hosts[$hostKey] = new Host($ipv4, $mac);
}
Note: The reason for the PagesController class and the index() method is cause I'm using the laravel framework.

Welcome to Code Review! Where does the XML file come from? Is it generated by a service/product? Would it be possible for you to edit your post to include a sample (with names/addresses altered to protect sensitive values, if necessary)?
