    Question Write XML file in QML?

    Hi, I have a XML file which I want to edit (add items, delete items). I can display my file using XmlListModel, but that is read-only.
    This is my first attempt with QML, so I don't really know my way around. How can I edit my XML file? Do I have to write it myself? Or is it a bad idea to use XML at all and the QML way is something else?

    You can easily do that in the C++ part of your program.
    Qt has a couple of XML processing APIs, e.g. QXmlStreamReader and QXmlStreamWriter or QDomDocument.

    If you also need this as a model, then you might want to consider writing a list model that internally loads and saves XML

    Thanks. I know about the C++ classes. I just wasn't sure if I can do this completely in QML.
    I will try it using C++.

    Well, QML is a language for creating object trees and binding object values together.

    There might be JavaScript libraries that allow direct XML processing and call that from QML, but that doesn't sound as efficient and reliable as doing it in C++.
