“Plates is a native PHP template system that’s fast, easy to use and easy to extend. It’s inspired by the excellent Twig template engine and strives to bring modern template language functionality to native PHP templates.

A better HTML5 parser for PHP – HTML5DOMDocument

HTML5DOMDocument extends the native DOMDocument library. It fixes some bugs and adds some new functionality.

Preserves white spaces
Preserves html entities
Preserves void tags
Allows inserting HTML code that moves the correct parts to their proper places (head elements are inserted in the head, body elements in the body)
Allows querying the DOM with CSS selectors (currently avaiable: *, tagname, tagname#id, tagname.classname, #id, .classname)

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$dom = new IvoPetkov\HTML5DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML('<!DOCTYPE html><html><body>Hello</body></html>');
echo $dom->saveHTML();

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$dom = new IvoPetkov\HTML5DOMDocument();

$dom->loadHTML('<!DOCTYPE html><html><body>Hello</body></html>');

echo $dom->saveHTML();

Paw – essential HTTP client to test your APIs

Paw is a full-featured HTTP client that lets you test the APIs you build or consume. It has a beautiful native OS X interface to compose requests, inspect server responses and generate client code out-of-the-box.

This is one of my go-to tools, when test-driving my API endpoints.

Importing CSV files with HTML5 and Papa Parse!

Papa Parse is the powerful, in-browser CSV parser for big boys and girls :)
If you do need easy CSV parsing and conversion back to CSV, take a look at it!

// Parse CSV string
var data = Papa.parse(csv);

// Convert back to CSV
var csv = Papa.unparse(data);

// Parse local CSV file
Papa.parse(file, {
	complete: function(results) {
		console.log("Finished:", results.data);
	}
});

// Stream big file in worker thread
Papa.parse(bigFile, {
	worker: true,
	step: function(results) {
		console.log("Row:", results.data);
	}
});

// Parse CSV string

var data = Papa.parse(csv);

// Convert back to CSV

var csv = Papa.unparse(data);

// Parse local CSV file

Papa.parse(file, {

complete: function(results) {

console.log("Finished:", results.data);

}

});

// Stream big file in worker thread

Papa.parse(bigFile, {

worker: true,

step: function(results) {

console.log("Row:", results.data);

}

});
