Design Decisions: Why use final classes
Making a class "final" is always a bad decision IMO. You would never know how will other people use your library. For example, we used JMSSerializerBundle and wanted to extend DateHandler to make it not to throw exceptions if a date string is invalid. But the class is final. So we had to just copy-paste it :(

PHP libraries and tools
JMS Serializer: This library allows you to (de-)serialize data of any complexity. Currently, it supports XML and JSON.

Yet another Data-Transfer-Object package
Only took a very brief look, but it looks nice. I like that the DTO class isn't required to extend anything, and that it seems to be for real DTOs used for actual transfer of data between systems - not 'local dtos'. It feels like this might be more comparable to something like schmittjoh/serializer rather than spatie/data-transfer-object.

PHP foreach loop to XML
When it's time to create the PDF, convert the object structure to an XML using an already existing serializer (like JMS or symfony serializer) or do this by hand.

Is there a better way to connect to an API?
One frequently used serializer is JMS Serializer which allows you to convert JSON or XML to objects (or the other way around if needed). You can then use the objects in your application.
