Export StandardItemModel to XML

Hi!

I need to export a QStandardModelItem to an XML-File.

Code:

---

QStandardItemModel *mod;
    //put stuff inside
 
    //then walk through the childs using
 
QStandardItem * item = mod->invisibleRootItem();
        exportChild(item,out) ; 
 
//writing the XMLFile using recursion of exportChild()
 
exportChild()
{
if (item->hasChildren())
     ...
    exportChild(item,out)
 
}

---

Is this the best way to do that or is there an easier or better solution?

Kind regards,

Recursion sounds good. But I would write two functions above like and "hide" the child function.

Code:

---

bool saveQStandardItemModelToFile(QStandardItemModel, "filename");
QStandardItemModel* getQStandardItemModelOutOfFile("filename");

---

The absolutely best way would be to write a custom model which works direct with the xml file, but that is a quite a lot of work and for a small case it might be overkill.

Thank you, this sounds good. I wil capsule the details and write a clean class to export the model.
