Hello in this video we are going to talk about what the XML extract parser is. So we've got some XML right here. And the XML parser is basically an event based parser and the event based parser essentially reports the XML you know, you know like this for example, you know, in terms of free events, you're telling you the starting element, so in this case will be this will tell you the, you know, sort of data inside of it. So this section you would that would be that and then you would report the closing element which is this, then you'll do the same for this. So this will be starting element, the data and the closing element. Same for this, this one, and this one right here and the expert parser functionality, Jackie part of the core PHP, so don't really need to do any installation.

You do need to do some initialization which I'm going to cover in a separate video. So the XML expert parser is great because if you want a bit more customization and just a bit more sore or fluidity, you can use this over simple XML. I always recommend trying simple XML if that works for your use case on is fine. You know how many problems use that few if you find it a bit basic than the x Mr. X pack parser will be the one that you need. So that's really all I wanted to discuss in this video in a separate video or set of videos will actually go over using the XML x pack parser. And yeah, that's it.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message and as usual, I look forward to seeing you in the next video.
