Read XML data and save them to mysql database in symfony 4 - mysql

Question

I have a simple XML file. I need to read the data and save them to mysql database table (1 or 2 tables). The file is like following :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:g="http://">
<myfile>
<title><![CDATA[All data]]></title>
<stock>
<name><![CDATA[my name]]></name>
<qty><![CDATA[0]]></qty>
<price><![CDATA[4.99]]></price>
<image><![CDATA[http://fashiondropshippers.com/media/catalog/product/i/m/image_463.jpg]]></image>
</stock>
</myfile>
</rss>
I am trying to do that in Symfony 4 using crawler. my codes in my controller are following
$crawler = new Crawler();
$crawler->addContent(file_get_contents('http://localhost/XML/myxml.xml'));
foreach ($crawler as $domElement) {
var_dump($domElement->nodeValue);
}
return new JsonResponse($domElement->nodeValue);
It displays data with errors. Now I need to save those data in mysql database tables. Could you please tell me how to proceed further ?
Many thanks in advance !

Ok. If you want to save data to DB you have to do the following:
Add Doctrine to your project: https://symfony.com/doc/current/doctrine.html#installing-doctrine
Create an entity: https://symfony.com/doc/current/doctrine.html#creating-an-entity-class
Make migrations: https://symfony.com/doc/current/doctrine.html#migrations-creating-the-database-tables-schema and execute them
Save your data to DB https://symfony.com/doc/current/doctrine.html#persisting-objects-to-the-database
