Magento – Magento 2 : How to i read Xml file data

data-migrationmagento2product-importxml

I have product file in XML format. I just need to read this file and import those data.

I have already use simplexml_load_file(file path) but it will work only small size of file. Is there any other way to read this large XML file ?

You can try this way :

 namespace Vendor\ModuleName\Model;  
      class ParseXmlClass 
         {
                /**
                 * @var \Magento\Framework\Module\Dir\Reader
                 */
                protected $moduleDirReader;

                /**
                 * @var \Magento\Framework\Xml\Parser
                 */
                private $parser;

                    ...

                public function getValue() 
                {
                    $filePath = $this->moduleDirReader->getModuleDir('etc', 'ModuleName') 
                       . '/yourxml.xml'
                    $parsedArray = $this->parser->load($filePath)->xmlToArray();
                    return $parsedArray['xmlNodeName'];
                }
         }

Magento 2 – Generate XML File Programmatically

For now i'm using php original function to write/create file inside my extension directory like this:

    public function __construct(
      \Magento\Framework\Module\Dir\Reader $moduleReader
      )
    {
        $this->customAttribute = $customAttribute;
        $baseDir = $moduleReader->getModuleDir('', 'Namespace_Module');
        $this->dir = $baseDir . '/view/adminhtml/ui_component';
    }

    public function writeFile() {
        $dir = $this->dir;
        $fileName = 'test.xml';
        $content =  '<test>Test</test>';

        $myfile = fopen($dir . '/' . $fileName, "w") or die("Unable to open file!");
        try {
          fwrite($myfile, $content);
          fclose($myfile);
        } catch (Exception $e) {
          $this->_logger($e->getMessage());
        }
        return;
     }

if there's more proper way to do it in Magento 2 please let me know, and i will accept the answer for this question, but for now if anyone want to use this as a solution it's working properly for me but i do not recommend it
