How to get a whole node of Xml as text

[rawfool]

For example if I have a xml like this -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tree path="//" message="SUCCESS">
    <item restype="0" resname="1myd" size="-" ver="-"
        lmd="2014/03/12 02:29:09" thumb="N" attrib_star="0"
        attrib_desc="0" share="-" capture_date="0"
        save_time="2014/03/12 02:29:09" chk="NA"/>
    <item restype="0" resname="Test333" size="-" ver="-"
        lmd="2014/03/11 00:53:42" thumb="N" attrib_star="0"
        attrib_desc="0" share="-" capture_date="0"
        save_time="2014/03/11 00:53:42" chk="NA"/>
</tree>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tree path="//" message="SUCCESS">
    <item restype="0" resname="1myd" size="-" ver="-"
        lmd="2014/03/12 02:29:09" thumb="N" attrib_star="0"
        attrib_desc="0" share="-" capture_date="0"
        save_time="2014/03/12 02:29:09" chk="NA"/>
    <item restype="0" resname="Test333" size="-" ver="-"
        lmd="2014/03/11 00:53:42" thumb="N" attrib_star="0"
        attrib_desc="0" share="-" capture_date="0"
        save_time="2014/03/11 00:53:42" chk="NA"/>
</tree>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Now I need the whole node as string like this-

Output:
<item restype="0" resname="Test333" size="-" ver="-" lmd="2014/03/11 00:53:42" thumb="N" attrib_star="0" attrib_desc="0" share="-" capture_date="0" save_time="2014/03/11 00:53:42" chk="NA"/>

Output:
<item restype="0" resname="Test333" size="-" ver="-" lmd="2014/03/11 00:53:42" thumb="N" attrib_star="0" attrib_desc="0" share="-" capture_date="0" save_time="2014/03/11 00:53:42" chk="NA"/>

What I tried was not giving me this whole thing as text.

void Util::parseXml(void)
{
    QDomDocument domDoc("myDoc");
    QFile file("/home/rahul/Desktop/file.xml");
    if(!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
        return;
    if (!domDoc.setContent(&file))
    {
        file.close();
        return;
    }
    file.close();
 
    QDomNode node = domDoc.elementsByTagName("item").at(0);
    QDomElement elem = node.toElement();
    qDebug() << elem.text();
}

void Util::parseXml(void)
{
    QDomDocument domDoc("myDoc");
    QFile file("/home/rahul/Desktop/file.xml");
    if(!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
        return;
    if (!domDoc.setContent(&file))
    {
        file.close();
        return;
    }
    file.close();

    QDomNode node = domDoc.elementsByTagName("item").at(0);
    QDomElement elem = node.toElement();
    qDebug() << elem.text();
}

Kindly help me with this. Thank you.

Hi anda_skoa,

How can I get the same thing (one full node as QString) using QXmlStreamReader ?

Thank you.

[anda_skoa]

Hmm.

QXmlStreamReader::readNext() returns an indicator on what the stream is currently at, so it should be possible to "replay" the same things on a QXmlStreamWriter.
E.g. when the token is StartElement, write a start element and so on.
