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.SourceString object.

The example uses capitals.xsl as the stylesheet for the transformation.

<?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 SourceString object, sourceObj, to contain the XML source for the transformation.

import matlab.io.xml.transform.*
s1 = "<Countries><Country><Name>Canada</Name>";
s2 = "<Capital>Ottawa</Capital></Country></Countries>";
XMLText = s1 + s2; 
sourceObj = SourceString(XMLText);

Perform the transformation and provide sourceObj as the XML source, 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")
