+ * @scriptlet xml-prune
+ *
+ * @description
+ * Removes an element from the specified XML.
+ *
+ *
+ * **Syntax**
+ * ```
+ * example.org#%#//scriptlet('xml-prune'[, propsToMatch[, optionalProp[, urlToMatch]]])
+ * ```
+ *
+ * - `propsToMatch` - required, selector of elements which will be removed from XML
+ * - `optionalProp` - optional, selector of elements that must occur in XML document
+ * - `urlToMatch` - optional, string or regular expression for matching the request's URL
+ *
+ * **Examples**
+ * 1. Removes `Period` tag which `id` contains `-ad-` from all requests
+ * ```
+ * example.org#%#//scriptlet('xml-prune', 'Period[id*="-ad-"]')
+ * ```
+ *
+ * 2. Removes `Period` tag which `id` contains `-ad-`, only if XML contains `SegmentTemplate`
+ * ```
+ * example.org#%#//scriptlet('xml-prune', 'Period[id*="-ad-"]', 'SegmentTemplate')
+ * ```
+ *
+ * 3. Removes `Period` tag which `id` contains `-ad-`, only if request's URL contains `.mpd`
+ * ```
+ * example.org#%#//scriptlet('xml-prune', 'Period[id*="-ad-"]', '', '.mpd')
+ * ```
