parsing binary xml with Qt
-
Hi
What type of binary XML ?
Do you mean the very old
"Binary XML Content Format Specification" ?
a so called WBXML file ?Often used with the sync frame work on windows/ mobile stuff ?
If you look around you might find some libs you can use
https://github.com/libwbxml/libwbxmlI think it would be possible to write a brand new lib from scratch using
Qt alone but its a pretty big spec...

Hi mrjj, thank you for your reply, actually i also looked through the very same src on github while i was thinking about 3rd lib party. As for requirements for the lib they are a bit specific as the binary standard was build in the organisation i am working on. well i just thought if it is possible to use something from qt itself.

hi
Well Qt has XML parser but its not for anything binary as far as i know.
Dont the organisation have a parser then ? -

@mrjj regretfully not, they don't. It is my current task to implement it.
Thank you for your help.@ainu
Oh so its not strictly WBXML but something close? -

@mrjj yeah, i thought that qt class QWbXmlReader would be the closest to mine and so i checked WBXML also ( well actually at first i checked WBXML as i read wikipedia at first to find at least basic information on binary representation of XML ) but truly speaking even despite that i understand that each lib has its own implementation ( and its prons and cons ) my choice of the lib was mostly based on its documentation i.e. if it has good manual or not. I am really very new to this topic ((
Another good library ( as it seems, for me ) can be EXI as it has really good description
What do you think? Have you ever tried it? -

Nope I have not used EXI but since its seems vastly newer ( last changed 2016-11-02)
i would go with that. Adding that documentation seems really good, it would surely try
a few tests with it to see if could be used. Also if possible to contain the internal format into
XMPP structure, it would be added benefit of interoperability and following a standard.So yes. seems like a good idea if it fits the specs.
