This example transforms the XML markup for countries and their capital cities into an HTML table. The example specifies the input XML as a matlab.io.xml.transform.SourceDocument object.

The example uses the file capitals.xsl.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
      <table>
      <tr>
        <th>Country</th>
        <th>Capital</th>
      </tr>
      <xsl:for-each select="Countries/Country">
        <tr>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="Name"/></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="Capital"/></td>
        </tr>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Create a document with element nodes for the countries and capital cities.

import matlab.io.xml.dom.*

doc = Document("Countries");
docRootNode = getDocumentElement(doc);
names = ["Canada" "France" "Peru"];
capitals = ["Ottawa" "Paris" "Lima"];
for i=1:3
    countryElement = createElement(doc,"Country");
    nameElement = createElement(doc,"Name");
    appendChild(nameElement,createTextNode(doc,names(i)));
    capitalElement = createElement(doc,"Capital");
    appendChild(capitalElement,createTextNode(doc,capitals(i)));
    appendChild(countryElement,nameElement);
    appendChild(countryElement,capitalElement);
    appendChild(docRootNode,countryElement);
end

Create a SourceDocument object, sourceObj, to contain the document.

import matlab.io.xml.transform.*
sourceObj = SourceDocument(doc);

Perform the transformation and provide sourceObj as the XML input, capitals.xsl as the stylesheet, and capitals.html as the name of the output file.

transform(Transformer,sourceObj,"capitals.xsl","capitals.html");

Open capitals.html in a browser.

web("capitals.html")
