Methods

Public Methods

write	write(thisWriter,domDoc,fileWriter) uses the specified file writer to write XML markup serialized from the specified DOM document. Specify domDoc as a matlab.io.xml.dom.Document object and fileWriter as a matlab.io.xml.dom.FileWriter object. Use this method to mix non-XML text with serialized XML text.
writeToFile	writeToFile(thisWriter,domDoc,filePath) serializes the specified document and stores the resulting XML markup, encoded as UTF-8, in a file at the specified path. writeToFile(thisWriter,domDoc,filePath,encoding) uses the specified encoding rather than UTF-8. Specify domDoc as a matlab.io.xml.dom.Document object and filePath as a string scalar or character vector. The filePath argument can contain non-ASCII characters. The file specified by filePath must be writable. Use this method to serialize an XML DOM document to a file. If the file is stored at a remote location, then filePath must contain the full path of the file specified with the form: scheme_name://path_to_file/my_file.ext Based on the remote location, scheme_name can be one of the values in this table. Remote Location scheme_name Amazon S3™ s3 Azure® Blob Storage wasb, wasbs HDFS™ hdfs For more information, see Work with Remote Data. Example: 's3://bucketname/path_to_file/data.xml'
writeToString	xmlstr = writeToString(thisWriter,domDoc) serializes the specified document and returns it as a character vector. Specify domDoc as a matlab.io.xml.dom.Document object.
setNewLine	setNewLine(thisWriter,newLine) specifies a character or characters to start a new line in serialized output. Specify newLine as one of these values: '' — line feed (default) newline — line feed char(13) — carriage return [char(13) newline] — carriage return followed by line feed
getNewLine	newLine = getNewLine(thisWriter) returns the character or characters that this writer uses to start a new line in serialized output.

Examples

Write XML Document to File

Write an XML document to a file using a matlab.io.xml.dom.DOMWriter object.

Create an XML document as a matlab.io.xml.dom.Document object.

import matlab.io.xml.dom.*
docNode = Document("root_element");
docRootNode = getDocumentElement(docNode);
weekdays = ["Mon" "Tue" "Wed" "Thu" "Fri"];
weekdaysElement = createElement(docNode,"weekdays");
for i=1:5
    dayElement = createElement(docNode,"day");
    appendChild(dayElement,createTextNode(docNode,weekdays(i)));
    appendChild(weekdaysElement,dayElement);
end
appendChild(docRootNode,weekdaysElement);

Create a writer to serialize the XML document.

xmlFileName = "weekdays.xml";
writer = matlab.io.xml.dom.DOMWriter;

Save the XML document to a file.

writeToFile(writer,docNode,xmlFileName);
