Today, I'm really happy to resume my Living on the edge series of articles about new features in Symfony. For the first post about Symfony 2.3, I like to start with some interesting features added to the DomCrawler component.
Schema-relative URLs
Contributed by
Jean-François Simon
in #7179.
In our quest to implement HTTP/Web standards, the Routing component introduced support for new URL generation options in 2.2 with schema-relative and path-relative URLs.
As of Symfony 2.3, we now also have support for schema-relative URLs in the DomCrawler component.
HTML5 forms
Contributed by
Robert Kiss
in #7500.
Speaking of standards, the DomCrawler component now supports HTML5 forms. As
you might know, there is a new form
attribute in HTML5 used to associate an orphaned input field with a form on
the same page via the form id attribute. They are now supported by
DomCrawler natively when submitting a form.
Stay tuned for more Symfony 2.3 new features!
