XMLNode

Using XMLNode, you can read an XML document into MATLAB as an XMLNode object. This object allows you to navigate and extract data from the XML document using XPath queries.
For example, in the XML document of colors (colors.xml)
<colors>
<color>
<name>red</name>
<hex>FF0000</hex>
</color>
<color>
<name>green</name>
<hex>00FF00</hex>
</color>
<color>
<name>blue</name>
<hex>0000FF</hex>
</color>
</colors>
you could obtain the green hex node using
>> n = XMLNode('colors.xml')
>> n.colors.color(2).hex

or

>> n = XMLNode('colors.xml')
>> n('colors/color[2]/hex')

To extract traditional MATLAB arrays instead of returning XMLNode objects, use {} indexing.

>> n = XMLNode('colors.xml')
>> greenHex = n{'colors/color[2]/hex'}

Supports namespaces and various character encodings.
