Does Codeigniter has xml parser? I want to parse xml file and show its data.

I think using the built in SimpleXML class is very easy.
www.php.net/simplexml
It parses XML very nicely.

yes, you can create your own library using simpleXML

Why don't CI has inbuilt XML parsing class?

Might as well use this thread for my question. Does anyone know of a way to convert a simplexml object to an array? Or, it easier, does anyone know of an alternate way to parse XML to an array in PHP? Thanks!

Probably because php has one that works great, and in my opinion doesn't need to be changed. My car tires are already round. You get me?

@kyleect:
Why do you need an array? Why would you prefer an array to an object?

Ya know, I guess I hadn't really thought about the CI users who do not have php5. SimpleXML is a php5 class, so perhaps CI users should create a class/library that parses XML like SimpleXML, but for php4. I have used a class like this in the past. I found it online, and probably have it somewhere in my mega script library. If I can find it, I will post it.

Ah yes! Thank you for finding my post! Yes, this class does allow for parsing XML in php4, very similar to php5 SimpleXML usage.
