📄Description

webread() reads content from the web to nelson's variable.

HTTP redirects are followed by default (see FollowLocation in weboptions).

When ContentType is 'auto' (the default), the Content-Type header of the response selects the decoder: an image/* response is read with imread, an audio/* response with audioread and a JSON response with jsondecode. Other media types are detected from the content.

💡Examples

url = 'https://httpbin.org/get';
res = webread(url,weboptions('ContentType','json'));
