Thanks. QDom was convenient as i was using it to create a model similar to the 
example code in Qt. My use case however, differs as i need some elements 
encrypted which means that all child elements are invisible until it is 
decrypted. Decryption happens incrementally during the life of the document.

Now that i think of it, QDom seems like the wrong choice as the document is 
parsed only once during the setContent() call at which time the sub elements 
of encrypted elements are invisible. Does the QXmlStreamReader API parse the 
document incrementally such that, when i encounter an encrypted element, i 
first decrypt it and then ask the reader to continue parsing from there?
