Please read this https://stackoverflow.com/a/21436539/1429677

Since this is not a error, but a php extension that is needed, it is usually on with most shared hosts. If not please request it from your system administrator. I see you use XXAMP, so just google how to turn it on in that environment.

thanks - problem solved:
enabled extension=php_tidy.dll in php.ini and restarted apache
now 2.6.6 compling works without problem
suggestion: php_tidy enabled check during install of JCB?

for usage with php7 this might be a bit "terse" ( the steps below for debian jessie ). Use sudo where aproriate!

get the key for the dotdeb archives, or upload it manually

 wget https://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg

add the key for apt-get and clean-up

 sudo apt-key add dotdeb.gpg
 rm -f dotdeb.gpg

add dotdeb.org to the sources

 cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list <<EOD
 deb http://packages.dotdeb.org jessie all
 deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org jessie all
 EOD

update apt-get to learn about our new sources

 apt-get update

now the search should now resolve

 apt-cache** search php7.0-tidy

install tidy

 apt-get install php7.0-tidy

now add them to the php.ini

 find / -name "tidy.so" | sed -e 's/^/extension=/' > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/tidy.ini
 cat /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/tidy.ini
 # should look some thing like
 extension=/usr/lib/php/20151012/tidy.so

And finish this of with restarting webserver

Wow that is painful... wonder if this is worth it... @stutteringp0et I am getting the feeling this change is not helping. I mean the xml implementation seems to make JCB slower and more complicated to use. I am collaborating with other, to make the case to go back to the initial string manipulation approach. I mean even you admitted that it was faster, and as we now see it had not complex extension issues like this.

@marcodings Just that you know, JCB can work without the tidy extension, it will just not pretty print the xml, but it will still compile. Here you can see the little tweak we added.

Marco's comment is misleading. All of those same steps are necessary just to install PHP7 in Debian Jessie.

If he's got PHP7 installed already - the process is "apt install php-tidy && service apache2 reload"

"misleading" in my vocabulary implies mal intent which is obviously not the case.
I possibly have been mistaken in my assumption of OS. To correct that more precisely i'm using the "official" joomla docker images.
These may or may not be "official" debian just don't know. I DO know its a recipe to get it working when you have the problem in that context ( if its working for you you probably would not end up here )

I can assure you i tried that first to no avail ..

Okay the old "string manipulation" option is back and can be used by going to the global options -> Global Tab -> Field Builder Type and selection String Manipulation as the default Field Builder Type

Hope this resolves this issue and keeps everyone happy 👍

So we did not remove the SimpleXMLElement method, but kept both options with a global selection option and internal error handling.
