I've created an extended element to handle more complex XML files some
time ago. The syntax is like the following:
XmlPathModel {
source: "foo.xml"
query: "/foo/bar"
XmlPathRole {
name: "sum"
query: "totalSum"
type: XmlPathRole.Real
}
XmlPathRole {
name: "books"
query: "books/book"
type: XmlPathRole.Group
XmlPathRole {
name: "title"
query: "title"
type: XmlPathRole.String
}
XmlPathRole {
name: "authors"
query: "authors/author"
type: XmlPathRole.Group
XmlPathRole {
name: "name"
query: "name"
type: XmlPathRole.String
}
}
}
}
I'll push a version more aligned with the current XmlListModel, so
others can use it in the meanwhile. It does not provide advanced XPath
features like sum() operators or individual array access, but it can
handle most of the XML files, providing a QAbstractItemModel tree
after parsing.
