Attempting to parse XML to DOM from string input using QDomDocument::setContent(). However, setContent() returns true regardless of the input and it's driving me nuts.
Text is entered into QTextEdit GUI and then (theoretically) converted to XML in the following function:
Qt Code:
Switch view
void Class::getXML()
{
domDoc->clear();
//Converts text edit content to HTML and parses to DOM doc
if(!domDoc->setContent(textEdit->toHtml())) {
} else {
QMessageBox::information(this,
"Success",domDoc
->toString
(4));
//xxxTESTINGxxx }
}
void Class::getXML()
domDoc->clear();
//Converts text edit content to HTML and parses to DOM doc
if(!domDoc->setContent(textEdit->toHtml())) {
QMessageBox::information(this,"Error","XML invalid");
} else {
QMessageBox::information(this,"Success",domDoc->toString(4)); //xxxTESTINGxxx
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
I understand setContent() is supposed to validate the input? Any ideas?
Thanks!
Afaik, QTextEdit::toHtml() always returns valid html (see qDebug() << textEdit->toHtml() for the actual content).
Perhaps domDoc->setContent(textEdit->toPlainText()) is what you are looking for?
I am not sure, if only a CDATA like in you case is valid XML... Nevertheless I guess you expect a certain XML string, so have a look at XML Schema Validation Example in the docs, which allows you a more specific test.
Thanks for the reply! My XML knowledge is rudimentary at best, but I believe there are many different schemas we'll be using (this little app is for in-house testing) so I'm starting to wonder if I should just forget about the validation and hope that the users will check their XML syntax as I'm really struggling to make this work.
What I don't understand is that the parsing to DOM doesn't return any errors...ever.Shouldn't there be complaints if there are, e.g. missing brackets?

Doesn't seem to do any validation either...brackets or no brackets, it's happy!
"tag mismatch" at line: 4 col: 10
"tag mismatch" at line: 4 col: 10

when I run this:
Qt Code:
Switch view
#include <QtGui>
#include <QtXml>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int line, col;
textEdit.append("<stuff>");
textEdit.append(" <testing>");
textEdit.append(" blaa... ");
textEdit.append(" </tstng>");
textEdit.append("</stuff>");
textEdit.show();
if(!domDoc.setContent(textEdit.toPlainText(), &error, &line, &col))
qDebug() << error << "at line: " << line << "col: " << col;
return app.exec();
}
#include <QtGui>
#include <QtXml>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QTextEdit textEdit;
QDomDocument domDoc;
QString error;
int line, col;
textEdit.append("<stuff>");
textEdit.append(" <testing>");
textEdit.append(" blaa... ");
textEdit.append(" </tstng>");
textEdit.append("</stuff>");
textEdit.show();
if(!domDoc.setContent(textEdit.toPlainText(), &error, &line, &col))
qDebug() << error << "at line: " << line << "col: " << col;
return app.exec();

[edit] Sorry, misunderstood the question, which was about schemas, not parsing.
You won't believe me...but your code helped me figure this out. Seeing that yours produced the correct results, I finally determined that my TEST function was wrong! All this time wasted because I never considered that angle! Feels like such an idiot...
Thank you both for the input!
