Parsing non-well formed XML with Qt

I'd like to use Qt to parse a non-well formed XML document of the form:

<log_data>
//lots of data
</log_data>
<log_data>
//more data
</log_data>

//etc.

Is this even possible or does the Qt XML parsing libraries absolutely require well-formed XML?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Create a skeleton document wrapper.xml:

    <!DOCTYPE wrapper [
<!ENTITY e SYSTEM "real.xml">
]>
<wrapper>&e;</wrapper>

    where real.xml is the XML fragment you actually want to read; then point your XML parser at wrapper.xml.
