Read XML that contains multiple elements with same name using XmlListModel

[rush]

Hi all,

I'm trying to read an XML file that looks like this:

......
<category>
some data
</category>
<category>
some other data
</category>
<category>
again different data
</category>
......

I'm using QML XmlListModel with XmlRole to grab data from the XML file. How can I make it read multiple elements with the same name? Is there some option to make it combine all data into one variable, or something like that?

If I try it just as it is, I get the following error:
Error XPTY0004 in file:///home/denisd/qt_projects/application, at line 2, column 57: Required cardinality is zero or one("?"); got cardinality one or more("+").

XmlRole code I use is:
@XmlRole { name: "category"; query: "category/string()" }@

Stupid question but is there a top name element such as
@<my_list>
<category>some data</category>
<category>some other data</category>
….
</my_list>@

if not, I don't think it's a valid XML format.

Jep, there is a top level element, this was just a part of the XML that I'm trying to read. The XML is actually an RSS feed:

@<rss>
<chanel>
<item>
.
.
<category>
some data
</category>
<category>
some other data
</category>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>@

I found this in the tableView tutorial example yesterday. Maybe that can help you

@
XmlListModel {
id: flickerModel
source: "https://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?format=rss2&tags=" + "Qt"
query: "/rss/channel/item"
namespaceDeclarations: "declare namespace media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/";"
XmlRole { name: "title"; query: "title/string()" }
XmlRole { name: "imagesource"; query: "media:thumbnail/@url/string()" }
XmlRole { name: "credit"; query: "media:credit/string()" }
}
@

I never used Xmlrole myself.

Here for future reference, I managed to solve it:

@ query: "/rss/channel/item"
XmlRole { name: "category"; query: "string-join(category, ',')" }@

This joins all <category> elements separated by ','.

Bldochon, tnx for the help :)
