Export StandardItemModel to XML

[homerun4711]

Hi!

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

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)
 
}

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)

}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

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.

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

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.
