This example creates and adds a matlab.io.xml.dom.Attr object to a matlab.io.xml.dom.Element object by using the setAttribute method of the Element object.

Import the matlab.io.xml.dom package so that you do not have to use long, fully qualified class names.

import matlab.io.xml.dom.*

Create a document with the root element para.

doc = Document("para");
para = getDocumentElement(doc);

Add a Color attribute to the para element.

setAttribute(para,"Color","red");

Add text to the para element.

textNode = createTextNode(doc,"Hello");
appendChild(para,textNode);

Write the XML to a file.

xmlFileName = "para.xml";
writer = matlab.io.xml.dom.DOMWriter;
writeToFile(writer,doc,xmlFileName);

This example creates an attribute using the createAttribute method of the owner document and adds the attribute to an element using the setAttributeNode method of the element.

Import the matlab.io.xml.dom package so that you do not have to use long, fully qualified class names.

import matlab.io.xml.dom.*

para = getDocumentElement(doc);

Create an attribute Color and set the attribute value.

attrObj = createAttribute(doc,"Color");
setValue(attrObj,"red");

Add the Color attribute to the para element.

setAttributeNode(para,attrObj);

Create a text node and add it to the para element.

textNode = createTextNode(doc,"Hello");
appendChild(para,textNode);
