一、概述及安装
the xmlreader extension is an xml pull parser. the reader acts as a cursor going forward on the document stream and stopping at each node on the way.
It is important to note that internally, libxml uses the UTF-8 encoding and as such, the encoding of the retrieved contents will always be in UTF-8 encoding.
此扩展需要 libxml PHP 扩展。这表示需要使用 --enable-libxml ，尽管这将隐式完成因为 libxml 是缺省开启的。
The XMLReader extension was initially a PECL extension for PHP 5. It was later moved to the PHP source (bundled) as of PHP 5.1.0, and later enabled by default as of PHP 5.1.2.
此扩展默认为启用,编译时可通过下列选项禁用： --disable-xmlreader
