Yes, it helps. No, your use-case won't be efficient the way you described. The in-memory representation of QJsonDocument has changed, so attempting to save and reloading as binary JSON will instead now make it worse. Just keep the QJsonDocument / QJsonValue that the thing was about, or keep the CBOR or JSON forms. The memory consumption of the CBOR-based in-memory format should be comparable, at least at first approximation, for reasonably-nested structures. The QCborContainerPrivate structure that is the backend of everything is designed to minimise the overhead and it also keeps your strings in US-ASCII as much as possible (most of your JSON object keys will be US-ASCII). If you REALLY need the binary format, you can try to use the qt5compat module in Qt 5. You may need to rename or namespace the class, since QtCore does export classes by the same name and you don't want an ODR violation. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel DPG Cloud Engineering _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
