QXmlStreamReader error on reading empty element

When i parse an XML document using the QXmlStreamReader class, i am presented with an error if i call "readElementText()" on an empty element and my parsing is interrupted. The error is:

Quote:

Expected character data.

Apparently, this is expected behavior.

So how can i know whether an element is empty or not?

Some ideas:

- Call readNext() and check if the token is Charactes, i.e. isCharacters() returns true
- Check if calling isEndElement() is true

Cheers,
