                    'attr2' => 'val2',
                ],
            ],
            [
                'tag' => 'tag2',
                'content' => 'content2',
            ],
            [
                'tag' => 'tag3',
                'elements' => [
                    [
                        'tag' => 'tag4',
                        'content' => 'content4',
                    ],
                ],
            ],
            [
                'tag' => 'tag4',
                'content' => '<b>content4</b>',
                'cdata' => true, // by default - false, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDATA
            ],
        ],
    ],
];
echo $xml->fromArray($in)->toOutput();

Output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
    <tag1 attr1="val1" attr2="val2"/>
    <tag2>content2</tag2>
    <tag3>
        <tag4>content4</tag4>
    </tag3>
    <tag4><![CDATA[<b>content4</b>]]></tag4>
</root>

Configuration:

$xml = new XmlConstructor([
    // Indent each line in the XML document. 4 space by default.
    'indentString' => '    ',
    /* Header document tag. "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" by default. */
    'startDocument' => [
        // version
        '1.0',
        // encoding
        'UTF-8',
    ],
]);

You can set up indentString and/or startDocument as null to disable them.
