XML vs file sotring settings

[^NyAw^]

Hi,

I have my application that stores/reloads a projecte file using QDataStream.
I'm not sure how to do it using XML, but my question is: Why I would use XML instead of writing to a binary file?

Thanks,

Using XML files has several advantages:

• XML files are human readable;
• Binary files can be corrupted and become not readable;
• Qt offers many utilities to interact with XML files.

If you don't want do deal with all that xml stuff, you also can use QSettings with QSettings::IniFormat and have all advantages of an xml file but it's much more easier to use.
