The new PEAR package XML_Parser-1.3.0 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/.

Release notes
-------------
- switch to BSD License
- switch to package.xml v2
- PEAR CS cleanup
- Fix Doc #13120: Mistake in example code

Package Info
------------
This is an XML parser based on PHPs built-in xml extension.
It supports two basic modes of operation: "func" and "event". In "func" mode, it will look for a function named after each element (xmltag_ELEMENT for start tags and xmltag_ELEMENT_ for end tags), and in "event" mode it uses a set of generic callbacks.

Since version 1.2.0 there's a new XML_Parser_Simple class that makes parsing of most XML documents easier, by automatically providing a stack for the elements.
Furthermore its now possible to split the parser from the handler object, so you do not have to extend XML_Parser anymore in order to parse a document with it.

The new PEAR package XML_Serializer-0.19.0a1 (alpha) has been released at http://pear.php.net/.

Release notes
-------------
- switch to package.xml v2
- PEAR CS cleanup
- Req #13856: License Change from PHP to BSD [ashnazg]
- Bug #8048: Entities are not replaced in tags with attributes [schst]
- Doc #12725: tuto link no more available

Package Info
------------
XML_Serializer serializes complex data structures like arrays or object as XML documents.
This class helps you generating any XML document you require without the need for DOM.
Furthermore this package can be used as a replacement to serialize() and unserialize() as it comes with a matching XML_Unserializer that is able to create PHP data structures (like arrays and objects) from XML documents, if type hints are available.
If you use the XML_Unserializer on standard XML files, it will try to guess how it has to be unserialized. In most cases it does exactly what you expect it to do.
Try reading a RSS file with XML_Unserializer and you have the whole RSS file in a structured array or even a collection of objects, similar to XML_RSS.

Since version 0.8.0 the package is able to treat XML documents similar to the simplexml extension of PHP 5.
