Want to store profiles in Qt, use SQLite or something else?

Question

I want to store some settings for different profiles of what a "task" does.

I know in .NET there's a nice ORM is there something like that or an Active Record or whatever? I know writing a bunch of SQL will be fun

Answer 1

One option would be to serialize objects to JSON with QJson. You still need to manage serialization, but it could well be a lot simpler if you don't need sophisticated query capabilities.

Answer 2

I'm going to agree with Micheal E and say that you can use QJson, but no you don't have to manage serialization. QJson has a QObject->QJson serializer/deserialzer. So as long as all your relevant data is exposed via Q_PROPERTY QJson can grab it and write/read it to/from the disk.

Examples here: http://qjson.sourceforge.net/usage.html

From there you can simply dump the data into a file.
