    Default 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:
    Expected character data.
    Apparently, this is expected behavior.

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

  2. The following user says thank you to tuli for this useful post:

    Default Re: QXmlStreamReader error on reading empty element

    Some ideas:

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

    Cheers,
