read a xml in matlab

To read an XML file in Matlab, you can use the xmlread function. This function reads an XML file and returns a Document Object Model (DOM) node tree, which you can traverse using Matlab's DOM functions.

main.m
% Specify the path to your xml file
filename = 'path/to/your/xml/file.xml';

% Read the file using xmlread function
xmlDoc = xmlread(filename);

% Traverse the node tree and extract the desired data
% For example, to get the value of an element with a certain tag:
tagName = 'yourTagName';
nodes = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName(tagName);
if nodes.getLength > 0
    selectedNode = nodes.item(0);
    tagValue = char(selectedNode.getTextContent);
end
447 chars
15 lines

In the above example, xmlDoc is a DOM node tree representing the XML document. You can then use Matlab's DOM functions to traverse the node tree and extract the desired data. In this case, we are getting the value of an element with a specific tag name.
