To specify document normalization options, modify the property values of the matlab.io.xml.dom.DocumentConfiguration object assigned to the Configuration property of the matlab.io.xml.dom.Document object. Use the normalizeDocument method to set the properties to the Document object.

This example configures the document to omit comments in the XML document.

Create a matlab.io.xml.dom.Document object with a root element named weekdays.

import matlab.io.xml.dom.*
doc = Document("weekdays");
docRootNode = getDocumentElement(doc);

Use the createComment method of the Document object to create a comment. Append the comment to the root element.

appendChild(docRootNode,createComment(doc,"days of the week except Saturday and Sunday"));

For each week day, Monday through Friday, create an element named day and append the name of the day to the day element. Append the day elements to the root element.

weekdays = ["Mon" "Tue" "Wed" "Thu" "Fri"];
for i=1:5
    dayElement = createElement(doc,"day");
    appendChild(dayElement,createTextNode(doc,weekdays(i)));
    appendChild(docRootNode,dayElement);
end
doc.Configuration.Namespaces = false;

Specify the document normalization options in the Configuration property. Use the nomalizeDocument method to set the normalization properties.

doc.Configuration.Comments = false;
normalizeDocument(doc);

Write the document to the file weekdays.xml.

xmlFileName ="weekdays.xml";
writer = matlab.io.xml.dom.DOMWriter;
writer.Configuration.FormatPrettyPrint = true;
writeToFile(writer,doc,xmlFileName);

Display the file contents.

type weekdays.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<weekdays>
  <day>Mon</day>
  <day>Tue</day>
  <day>Wed</day>
  <day>Thu</day>
  <day>Fri</day>
</weekdays>

The comment <!--days of the week except Saturday and Sunday--> is removed from weekdays.xml.
