Serialization features in qt

IknowQT

I am trying to make the contents to be saved into an xml file or to re-objectify the contents of the xml file.
I checked various things and confirmed that there is a serialization function of C#.
Does qt have such a feature? please reply

Hi
yes
Qt can stream most of its own types directly - but this is in binary format via
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdatastream.html

It cant save to XML but QDatastreams is both faster and more compact.

@mrjj

Do you have any example projects?

@IknowQT
Did you look at the sample code fragments on the documentation page? That's all there is to it.

In addition to XML serialization, C#/.NET also has binary serializiation, through System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary. That is what Qt's QDataStream is equivalent to. Alternatively, don't forget that Qt has support for JSON serialization.

Hi,

In addition to my fellows:
QXmlStreamReader and QXmlStreamWriter.

One important thing: all tools suggested until now won't serialize your objects automagically for you.
