Best way to read xml

[steg90]

Hi,

I have the following XML :

<WORKSPACE>
 <CANCHANNELS>
   <CAN id="1" baud="500" view="S">
     <FILTER type="PASS" ACCEPT="000" MASK="000" EXTENDED="0" FILTERONID="1">
     <CANFILTERS>
       <FILTERS ID="7e8" /> 
       <FILTERS ID="2e8" /> 
       <FILTERS ID="3e8" /> 
    </CANFILTERS>
    </FILTER>
  </CAN>
  <CAN id="2" baud="125" view="C">
    <FILTER type="PASS" ACCEPT="000" MASK="000" EXTENDED="0" FILTERONID="1">
    <CANFILTERS>
       <FILTERS ID="4e8" /> 
       <FILTERS ID="5e8" /> 
    </CANFILTERS>
    </FILTER>
  </CAN>
 </CANCHANNELS>
</WORKSPACE>

<WORKSPACE>
 <CANCHANNELS>
   <CAN id="1" baud="500" view="S">
     <FILTER type="PASS" ACCEPT="000" MASK="000" EXTENDED="0" FILTERONID="1">
     <CANFILTERS>
       <FILTERS ID="7e8" /> 
       <FILTERS ID="2e8" /> 
       <FILTERS ID="3e8" /> 
    </CANFILTERS>
    </FILTER>
  </CAN>
  <CAN id="2" baud="125" view="C">
    <FILTER type="PASS" ACCEPT="000" MASK="000" EXTENDED="0" FILTERONID="1">
    <CANFILTERS>
       <FILTERS ID="4e8" /> 
       <FILTERS ID="5e8" /> 
    </CANFILTERS>
    </FILTER>
  </CAN>
 </CANCHANNELS>
</WORKSPACE>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Just wondering if QXmlStreamReader is the way to go to read it in?

Thanks for any advice,
Steve

I'd use the DOM approach (QDomDocument and friends) but it depends on what exactly you want to do with the data.

Thanks,

Just want to read the xml into some structures I will be creating.

I have just used QXmlStreamReader object, seemed easy enough.

I haven't used the new stream reader, but if you're just reading into a structure, it sounds the way to go.
