Are there any specific PHP libraries or functions that are recommended for working with XML and XSD files in PHP projects?

When working with XML and XSD files in PHP projects, it is recommended to use the SimpleXML extension for parsing XML files and the XMLReader extension for reading large XML files efficiently. For validating XML files against XSD schemas, the libxml extension in PHP provides the necessary functions to perform validation. 

// Load XML file using SimpleXML
$xml = simplexml_load_file('data.xml');

// Read XML file using XMLReader
$reader = new XMLReader();
$reader->open('data.xml');

// Validate XML file against XSD schema
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->load('data.xml');
if (!$xml->schemaValidate('schema.xsd')) {
    foreach (libxml_get_errors() as $error) {
        echo $error->message;
    }
}
