小白第一次用Matlab导入XML，并实现去掉 #text 等空白字段

• 我们分两步，第一步利用官网提供的解析函数进行解析，官网直接粘贴复制即可，稍微浏览一遍。

function theStruct = parseXML(filename)
% PARSEXML Convert XML file to a MATLAB structure.
try
   tree = xmlread(filename);

catch
   error('Failed to read XML file %s.',filename);
end

% Recurse over child nodes. This could run into problems 
% with very deeply nested trees.
try
   theStruct = parseChildNodes(tree);
catch
   error('Unable to parse XML file %s.',filename);
end
% ----- Local function PARSECHILDNODES -----
function children = parseChildNodes(theNode)
% Recurse over node children.
children = [];
removeIndentNodes( theNode );       %%%%<remove #text>%%官网没有这句话%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 
if theNode.hasChildNodes
   childNodes = theNode.getChildNodes;
   numChildNodes = childNodes.getLength;
   allocCell = cell(1, numChildNodes);

   children = struct( 'Name', allocCell, 'Attributes', allocCell, ...
                      'Data', allocCell, 'Children',   allocCell);

    for count = 1:numChildNodes
        theChild = childNodes.item(count-1);
        
        children(count) = makeStructFromNode(theChild);
    end
end

% ----- Local function MAKESTRUCTFROMNODE -----
function nodeStruct = makeStructFromNode(theNode)
% Create structure of node info.

nodeStruct = struct('Name',       char(theNode.getNodeName), ...
                    'Attributes', parseAttributes(theNode),  ...
                    'Data', '',                              ...
                    'Children',   parseChildNodes(theNode));

if any(strcmp(methods(theNode), 'getData'))
   nodeStruct.Data = char(theNode.getData); 
else
   nodeStruct.Data = '';
end

% ----- Local function PARSEATTRIBUTES -----
function attributes = parseAttributes(theNode)
% Create attributes structure.

attributes = [];
if theNode.hasAttributes
   theAttributes = theNode.getAttributes;
   numAttributes = theAttributes.getLength;
   allocCell = cell(1, numAttributes);
   attributes = struct('Name', allocCell, 'Value', allocCell);

   for count = 1:numAttributes
      attrib = theAttributes.item(count-1);
      attributes(count).Name = char(attrib.getName);
      attributes(count).Value = char(attrib.getValue);
   end
end

• 接下来我们进行第二步，就是去除#text，首先了解一下#text 产生的原因，DOM树包含了被称为“不可忽略的空白”的文本节点，他是标签之间的空白（如回车符）。这里是removeIndentNodes( )函数，功能是去掉#text节点。

function removeIndentNodes( childNodes )
% remove #text
numNodes = childNodes.getLength;
remList = [];
for i = numNodes:-1:1
   theChild = childNodes.item(i-1);
   if (theChild.hasChildNodes)
      removeIndentNodes(theChild.getChildNodes);
   else
      if ( theChild.getNodeType == theChild.TEXT_NODE && ...
           ~isempty(char(theChild.getData()))         && ...
           all(isspace(char(theChild.getData()))))
         remList(end+1) = i-1; % java indexing
      end
   end
end
for i = 1:length(remList)
   childNodes.removeChild(childNodes.item(remList(i)));
end
end
