Create XML with document name and attributtes

Hi,

I am developping a code to create an XML document from data retrived from an excel sheet. The requirement is such that, the XML document node should be off the following format:

 <sce xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.5">
 <Scenario>
 <description>...</description>
 <name/>
 </Scenario>
 </sce>

The XML that i am creating comes out as below:

 <sce>
 <Scenario>
 <description>...</description>
 <name/>
 </Scenario>
 </sce>

i.e i am not able to create the attributes of the document node which are xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.5"

I have the attrbutes and the corresponding values in a container map as seen below:

objScenarioDocDetails.cm_docAttributes= containers.Map(arrAttributesKeySet,arrAttributesValueSet);

Any help to fix this issue would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks in advance.

try this:

import matlab.io.xml.dom.*

docNode = Document("sce");

docRootNode = getDocumentElement(docNode);

docRootNode.setAttributeNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", "xmlns:xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance")

docRootNode.setAttributeNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", "version", "1.5");

xmlFileName = "example_ns.xml";

writer = matlab.io.xml.dom.DOMWriter;

writer.Configuration.FormatPrettyPrint = true;

writeToFile(writer,docNode,xmlFileName);

type(xmlFileName);
