```

--------------------------------

### Configure xsd2php with YAML

Source: https://github.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/blob/master/README.md

Define namespace mappings and destination directories for generated PHP classes and metadata in a configuration file.

```yaml
# config.yml
# Linux Users: PHP Namespaces use back slash \ rather than a forward slash /
# So for destinations_php, the namespace would be TestNs\MyApp

xsd2php:
  namespaces:
    'http://www.example.org/test/': 'TestNs\MyApp'
  destinations_php: 
    'TestNs\MyApp': soap/src
#    'TestNs\MyApp': soap\src  #  on Windows

  destinations_jms:
    'TestNs\MyApp': soap/metadata
#    'TestNs\MyApp': soap/metadata  #  on Windows
 
#  Uncomment this section if you want to have also symfony/validator metadata to be generated from XSD    
#  destinations_validation:
#    'TestNs\MyApp': soap/validation
#    'TestNs\MyApp': soap/validation  #  on Windows
    
  aliases: # optional
    'http://www.example.org/test/':
      MyCustomXSDType:  'MyCustomMappedPHPType'
  naming_strategy: short # optional and default
  path_generator: psr4 # optional and default
#  known_locations: # optional
#    "http://www.example.org/test/somefile.xsd": somefile.xsd
#  known_namespace_locations: # optional
#    "urn:veloconnect:catalog-1.1": xsd/catalog-1.1.xsd
# configs_jms:  #optional
```

--------------------------------

### Configure xsd2php namespaces and aliases

Source: https://context7.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/llms.txt

Define namespace mappings, output directories, and custom handlers for XML Schema types in your configuration file.

```yaml
xsd2php:
  namespaces:
    'http://www.example.org/api/': 'MyApp\Api'
  destinations_php:
    'MyApp\Api': src/Api
  destinations_jms:
    'MyApp\Api': config/serializer/Api

  # Map anyType to your custom handler class
  aliases:
    'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema':
      anyType: 'MyApp\Handlers\AnyTypeHandler'
      anySimpleType: 'MyApp\Handlers\AnySimpleTypeHandler'
```

--------------------------------

### Configure JMS Serializer

Source: https://github.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/blob/master/README.md

Set up the JMS Serializer with custom handlers for XML schema types and metadata directories.

```php
<?php

use JMS\
Serializer\SerializerBuilder;
use JMS\Serializer\Handler\HandlerRegistryInterface;

use GoetasWebservices\Xsd\XsdToPhpRuntime\Jms\Handler\BaseTypesHandler;
use GoetasWebservices\Xsd\XsdToPhpRuntime\Jms\Handler\XmlSchemaDateHandler;

$serializerBuilder = SerializerBuilder::create();
$serializerBuilder->addMetadataDir('metadata dir', 'TestNs');
$serializerBuilder->configureHandlers(function (HandlerRegistryInterface $handler) use ($serializerBuilder) {
    $serializerBuilder->addDefaultHandlers();
    $handler->registerSubscribingHandler(new BaseTypesHandler()); // XMLSchema List handling
    $handler->registerSubscribingHandler(new XmlSchemaDateHandler()); // XMLSchema date handling

    // $handler->registerSubscribingHandler(new YourhandlerHere());
});

$serializer = $serializerBuilder->build();

// deserialize the XML into Demo\MyObject object
$object = $serializer->deserialize('<some xml/>', 'TestNs\MyObject', 'xml');

// some code ....

// serialize the Demo\MyObject back into XML
$newXml = $serializer->serialize($object, 'xml');
```

--------------------------------

### YAML Configuration for Short Naming Strategy

Source: https://context7.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/llms.txt

Configure xsd2php to use the 'short' naming strategy, which is the default. This strategy influences how PHP class names are generated from XSD types.

```yaml
# config.yml - Short naming strategy (default)
xsd2php:
  naming_strategy: short
  namespaces:
    'http://www.example.org/api/': 'MyApp\Api'
  destinations_php:
    'MyApp\Api': src/Api
  destinations_jms:
    'MyApp\Api': config/serializer/Api

# With short naming:
# XSD type "User" becomes "UserType" (if doesn't already end with "Type")
# XSD type "UserType" stays "UserType"
# Anonymous types become "ParentNameAType"

```

--------------------------------

### Programmatic XSD to PHP Conversion with PhpConverter

Source: https://context7.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/llms.txt

Use the PhpConverter class for programmatic conversion of XSD schemas to PHP class definitions. This involves reading the schema, configuring the converter, and generating/writing the PHP files.

```php
<?php

use GoetasWebservices\XML\XSDReader\SchemaReader;
use GoetasWebservices\Xsd\XsdToPhp\Php\PhpConverter;
use GoetasWebservices\Xsd\XsdToPhp\Naming\ShortNamingStrategy;
use GoetasWebservices\Xsd\XsdToPhp\Php\ClassGenerator;
use GoetasWebservices\Xsd\XsdToPhp\Writer\PHPClassWriter;
use GoetasWebservices\Xsd\XsdToPhp\Php\PathGenerator\Psr4PathGenerator;

// Read XSD schema
$reader = new SchemaReader();
$schema = $reader->readFile('schemas/api.xsd');

// Create converter with naming strategy
$namingStrategy = new ShortNamingStrategy();
$converter = new PhpConverter($namingStrategy);

// Add namespace mappings
$converter->addNamespace('http://www.example.org/api/', 'MyApp\Api');
$converter->addNamespace('http://www.example.org/common/', 'MyApp\Common');

// Add custom type aliases
$converter->addAliasMapType(
    'http://www.example.org/api/',
    'CustomDateType',
    'MyApp\Types\CustomDate'
);

// Convert schemas to PHP class definitions
$phpClasses = $converter->convert([$schema]);

// Generate actual PHP code
$classGenerator = new ClassGenerator();
$generatedClasses = [];

foreach ($phpClasses as $phpClass) {
    $generated = $classGenerator->generate($phpClass);
    if ($generated !== null) {
        $generatedClasses[] = $generated;
    }
}

// Write PHP files
$pathGenerator = new Psr4PathGenerator([
    'MyApp\Api' => 'src/Api',
    'MyApp\Common' => 'src/Common'
]);

$writer = new PHPClassWriter($pathGenerator);
$writer->write($generatedClasses);

echo "Generated " . count($generatedClasses) . " PHP classes.\n";

```

--------------------------------

### Define Custom Serialization Handler in PHP

Source: https://github.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/blob/master/README.md

Implement SubscribingHandlerInterface to define custom serialization and deserialization methods for specific types. Ensure the class is correctly registered in config.yml.

```php
use JMS\Serializer\XmlSerializationVisitor;
use JMS\Serializer\XmlDeserializationVisitor;

use JMS\Serializer\Handler\SubscribingHandlerInterface;
use JMS\Serializer\GraphNavigator;
use JMS\Serializer\VisitorInterface;
use JMS\Serializer\Context;

class MyHandler implements SubscribingHandlerInterface
{
    public static function getSubscribingMethods()
    {
        return array(
            array(
                'direction' => GraphNavigator::DIRECTION_DESERIALIZATION,
                'format' => 'xml',
                'type' => 'MyCustomAnyTypeHandler',
                'method' => 'deserializeAnyType'
            ),
            array(
                'direction' => GraphNavigator::DIRECTION_SERIALIZATION,
                'format' => 'xml',
                'type' => 'MyCustomAnyTypeHandler',
                'method' => 'serializeAnyType'
            )
        );
    }

    public function serializeAnyType(XmlSerializationVisitor $visitor, $data, array $type, Context $context)
    {
        // serialize your object here
    }

    public function deserializeAnyType(XmlDeserializationVisitor $visitor, $data, array $type)
    {
        // deserialize your object here
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### YAML Configuration for Long Naming Strategy

Source: https://context7.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/llms.txt

Configure xsd2php to use the 'long' naming strategy. This strategy generates PHP class names that are more verbose and can help avoid naming conflicts.

```yaml
# config.yml - Long naming strategy
xsd2php:
  naming_strategy: long
  namespaces:
    'http://www.example.org/api/': 'MyApp\Api'
  destinations_php:
    'MyApp\Api': src/Api
  destinations_jms:
    'MyApp\Api': config/serializer/Api

# With long naming:
# XSD type "User" becomes "UserType"
# XSD type "UserType" becomes "UserTypeType"
# Anonymous types become "ParentNameAnonymousPHPType"
# XSD element "User" becomes "UserElement"

# Use long naming when you have conflicts like:
# - Type named "User" AND element named "User"
# - Type named "UserType" AND type named "User"

```

--------------------------------

### Implement a custom JMS Serializer handler

Source: https://context7.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/llms.txt

Create a class implementing SubscribingHandlerInterface to handle custom serialization and deserialization logic for specific types.

```php
<?php

namespace MyApp\Handlers;

use JMS\Serializer\Handler\SubscribingHandlerInterface;
use JMS\Serializer\GraphNavigator;
use JMS\Serializer\XmlSerializationVisitor;
use JMS\Serializer\XmlDeserializationVisitor;
use JMS\Serializer\Context;

class AnyTypeHandler implements SubscribingHandlerInterface
{
    public static function getSubscribingMethods(): array
    {
        return [
            [
                'direction' => GraphNavigator::DIRECTION_DESERIALIZATION,
                'format' => 'xml',
                'type' => 'MyApp\Handlers\AnyTypeHandler',
                'method' => 'deserializeAnyType'
            ],
            [
                'direction' => GraphNavigator::DIRECTION_SERIALIZATION,
                'format' => 'xml',
                'type' => 'MyApp\Handlers\AnyTypeHandler',
                'method' => 'serializeAnyType'
            ]
        ];
    }

    public function deserializeAnyType(
        XmlDeserializationVisitor $visitor,
        \SimpleXMLElement $data,
        array $type
    ): mixed {
        // Convert XML element to array for flexible handling
        $result = [];

        foreach ($data->attributes() as $key => $value) {
            $result['@' . $key] = (string) $value;
        }

        foreach ($data->children() as $child) {
            $childName = $child->getName();
            if (isset($result[$childName])) {
                if (!is_array($result[$childName]) || !isset($result[$childName][0])) {
                    $result[$childName] = [$result[$childName]];
                }
                $result[$childName][] = $this->elementToArray($child);
            } else {
                $result[$childName] = $this->elementToArray($child);
            }
        }

        if (empty($result) && (string) $data !== '') {
            return (string) $data;
        }

        return $result;
    }

    public function serializeAnyType(
        XmlSerializationVisitor $visitor,
        mixed $data,
        array $type,
        Context $context
    ): \DOMElement {
        $document = $visitor->getDocument();
        $element = $document->createElement('anyType');

        if (is_array($data)) {
            foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
                if (str_starts_with($key, '@')) {
                    $element->setAttribute(substr($key, 1), $value);
                } else {
                    $child = $document->createElement($key);
                    $child->appendChild($document->createTextNode((string) $value));
                    $element->appendChild($child);
                }
            }
        } else {
            $element->appendChild($document->createTextNode((string) $data));
        }

        return $element;
    }

    private function elementToArray(\SimpleXMLElement $element): mixed
    {
        $children = $element->children();
        if (count($children) === 0) {
            return (string) $element;
        }

        $result = [];
        foreach ($children as $child) {

### Serialize PHP Objects to XML with JMS Serializer

Source: https://context7.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/llms.txt

Uses the same configuration as deserialization to convert populated PHP objects back into XML format.

```php
<?php

use JMS\Serializer\SerializerBuilder;
use JMS\Serializer\Handler\HandlerRegistryInterface;
use GoetasWebservices\Xsd\XsdToPhpRuntime\Jms\Handler\BaseTypesHandler;
use GoetasWebservices\Xsd\XsdToPhpRuntime\Jms\Handler\XmlSchemaDateHandler;

// Build serializer (same configuration as deserialization)
$serializerBuilder = SerializerBuilder::create();
$serializerBuilder->addMetadataDir('config/serializer/Api', 'MyApp\Api');
$serializerBuilder->configureHandlers(function (HandlerRegistryInterface $handler) use ($serializerBuilder) {
    $serializerBuilder->addDefaultHandlers();
    $handler->registerSubscribingHandler(new BaseTypesHandler());
    $handler->registerSubscribingHandler(new XmlSchemaDateHandler());
});
$serializer = $serializerBuilder->build();

// Create and populate PHP object
$response = new \MyApp\Api\AirAvailRS();
$response->setTransactionIdentifier('TXN-12345');
$response->setTimeStamp(new \DateTime('2024-06-15T14:30:00'));

// Add flight options
$flightOption = new \MyApp\Api\FlightOptionType();
$flightOption->setFlightNumber('AA100');
$flightOption->setDepartureTime(new \DateTime('2024-06-15T10:30:00'));
$flightOption->setArrivalTime(new \DateTime('2024-06-15T13:45:00'));
$flightOption->setPrice(450.00);
$flightOption->setCurrency('USD');

$response->addToFlightOptions($flightOption);

// Serialize to XML
$xmlOutput = $serializer->serialize($response, 'xml');

echo $xmlOutput;
// Output:
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
// <AirAvailRS xmlns="http://www.example.org/api/">
//     <TransactionIdentifier>TXN-12345</TransactionIdentifier>
//     <TimeStamp>2024-06-15T14:30:00+00:00</TimeStamp>

### Deserialize XML to PHP Objects with JMS Serializer

Source: https://context7.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/llms.txt

Configures the SerializerBuilder with metadata directories and required XML Schema handlers to map XML documents to strongly-typed PHP classes.

```php
<?php

use JMS\Serializer\SerializerBuilder;
use JMS\Serializer\Handler\HandlerRegistryInterface;
use GoetasWebservices\Xsd\XsdToPhpRuntime\Jms\Handler\BaseTypesHandler;
use GoetasWebservices\Xsd\XsdToPhpRuntime\Jms\Handler\XmlSchemaDateHandler;

// Build the serializer with metadata directories and handlers
$serializerBuilder = SerializerBuilder::create();

// Add metadata directories (namespace => path mapping)
$serializerBuilder->addMetadataDir('config/serializer/Api', 'MyApp\Api');
$serializerBuilder->addMetadataDir('config/serializer/Common', 'MyApp\Common');

// Register required handlers for XML Schema types
$serializerBuilder->configureHandlers(function (HandlerRegistryInterface $handler) use ($serializerBuilder) {
    $serializerBuilder->addDefaultHandlers();

    // Handler for XMLSchema list types (xsd:list)
    $handler->registerSubscribingHandler(new BaseTypesHandler());

    // Handler for XMLSchema date/time types (xsd:date, xsd:dateTime, xsd:time)
    $handler->registerSubscribingHandler(new XmlSchemaDateHandler());
});

$serializer = $serializerBuilder->build();

// Sample XML document
$xml = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AirAvailRQ xmlns="http://www.example.org/api/">
    <DepartureDateTime>2024-06-15T10:30:00</DepartureDateTime>
    <OriginLocation>JFK</OriginLocation>
    <DestinationLocation>LAX</DestinationLocation>
    <CabinPreference>Business</CabinPreference>
</AirAvailRQ>
XML;

// Deserialize XML into PHP object
$airAvailRequest = $serializer->deserialize($xml, 'MyApp\Api\AirAvailRQ', 'xml');

// Access typed properties
echo $airAvailRequest->getOriginLocation();        // "JFK"
echo $airAvailRequest->getDestinationLocation();   // "LAX"
echo $airAvailRequest->getDepartureDateTime()->format('Y-m-d'); // "2024-06-15"

### Generate JMS Metadata with YamlConverter

Source: https://context7.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/llms.txt

Use the YamlConverter class to read an XSD schema, map namespaces, and write JMS Serializer YAML metadata files.

```php

### Disable CDATA in Configuration

Source: https://github.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/blob/master/README.md

Set the xml_cdata flag to false within the xsd2php configuration to disable CDATA usage.

```yaml
xml_cdata: false # Disables CDATA
```

--------------------------------

### Disable CDATA in YAML Configuration

Source: https://github.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/blob/master/README.md

Configure the JMS settings in the YAML file to disable CDATA.

```yaml
xsd2php:
  configs_jms:
    xml_cdata: false
```

### Validate Generated Objects

Source: https://github.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/blob/master/README.md

Use the Symfony Validator component to validate objects against generated YAML mapping files.

```php
<?php

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Validation;

// get the validator
$builder = Validation::createValidatorBuilder();
foreach (glob('soap/validation/*.yml') as $file) {
    $builder->addYamlMapping($file);
}
$validator =  $builder->getValidator();

// validate $object
$violations = $validator->validate($object, null, ['xsd_rules']);
```

### Validate PHP Objects with Symfony Validator

Source: https://context7.com/goetas-webservices/xsd2php/llms.txt

Use generated Symfony Validator metadata (YAML mappings) to validate PHP objects against XSD constraints. Ensure validation metadata files are loaded correctly.

```php
<?php

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Validation;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

// Build the validator with generated YAML mappings
$builder = Validation::createValidatorBuilder();

// Load all generated validation metadata files
foreach (glob('config/validation/Api/*.yml') as $file) {
    $builder->addYamlMapping($file);
}
foreach (glob('config/validation/Common/*.yml') as $file) {
    $builder->addYamlMapping($file);
}

$validator = $builder->getValidator();

// Create an object to validate
$request = new \MyApp\Api\AirBookRQ();
$request->setPassengerCount(0);  // Invalid: must be positive
$request->setFlightNumber('');   // Invalid: cannot be empty

// Validate using XSD rules group
$violations = $validator->validate($request, null, ['xsd_rules']);

if (count($violations) > 0) {
    foreach ($violations as $violation) {
        echo sprintf(
            "Property '%s': %s (invalid value: %s)\n",
            $violation->getPropertyPath(),
            $violation->getMessage(),
            json_encode($violation->getInvalidValue())
        );
    }
    // Output:
    // Property 'passengerCount': This value should be positive. (invalid value: 0)
    // Property 'flightNumber': This value should not be blank. (invalid value: "")
}

// Valid object passes validation
$validRequest = new \MyApp\Api\AirBookRQ();
$validRequest->setPassengerCount(2);
$validRequest->setFlightNumber('AA100');
$validRequest->setDepartureDate(new \DateTime('2024-06-15'));

$violations = $validator->validate($validRequest, null, ['xsd_rules']);
echo count($violations) === 0 ? "Validation passed!" : "Validation failed.";
// Output: Validation passed!
