A TABstack alternative.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{mathtools,tabstackengine}
TABstackMath% STACK MATRIX IN MATH MODE
setstacktabbedgap{10pt}% INTER-COLUMN GAP SIZE
setstackgap{L}{1.5baselineskip}% INTER-ROW BASELINESKIP
newcommandcddots{raisebox{-1pt}{$ddots$}}

[ operatorname{diag} x =
bracketMatrixstack{
x_1 & 0 & 0\
0 & cddots & 0 \
0 & 0 & x_n
}
]
end{document}
While not needed for diagonal matrices of the type portrayed by the OP, the package has a fixTABwidth{<T or F>} declaration to fix all column widths to the largest found in the matrix. That can be helpful if there are wide matrix entries:
