symfony/dom-crawler

This system is the Symfony DomCrawler library, a PHP component designed for parsing and interacting with HTML and XML documents. It provides capabilities for navigating the DOM, resolving URIs, and extracting data from links, images, and complex form fields. The system also includes specialized PHPUnit constraints to facilitate granular assertions when testing web application interfaces.

The DomCrawler component has been significantly refactored to use modern PHP 8+ features, including constructor property promotion, native type declarations, and the removal of the legacy SplObjectStorage inheritance in favor of a native array-based node list. A new UriResolver class and AbstractUriElement base class centralize URI resolution logic, improving how relative links and form actions are handled against a base URI. The Form class now extends Link to share this URI logic and uses a new internal FormFieldRegistry to manage complex multi-dimensional form fields. Additionally, the component now supports \<area\> and \<link\> tags as navigable links, allows selecting images via new methods, and enforces stricter security by disabling external entity loading in XML parsing.

This update modernizes the DomCrawler form field classes with strict PHP types and improved behavior. ChoiceFormField now supports selecting options by visible text via the new selectByText() method and correctly identifies disabled options. FileFormField upload logic has been updated to preserve file extensions in temporary copies, and InputFormField now recognizes \<button\> elements. Additionally, FormField gains a getLabel() method to retrieve associated labels, and all classes have been refactored with native return types and strict comparisons.

Added test fixtures for Alpine.js, encoding, and file extension handling; Added tests for DomCrawler assertion constraints; Added unit tests for DomCrawler components; Added unit tests for DomCrawler form field classes; New DOM Crawler test constraints for selector assertions.

Added a composer.json manifest for the Symfony DomCrawler library, defining it as a PSR-4 autoloaded package with a minimum PHP requirement of 8.4.1 and dependencies on symfony/polyfill-ctype and symfony/polyfill-mbstring, while listing symfony/css-selector as a development dependency.
