Hi Matthias
It will be a reasonably big undertaking to migrate any occurrence of QDomDocument etc. to QXMLStreamWriter and QXMLStreamReader
From a quick look, it seems QXMLStreamReader is more like a SAX parser. If so, it is not a full replacement for the DOM classes.

Hi, As of Qt5, QtXml is no longer actively maintained [1] PyQt5 does not even support it. It will be a reasonably big undertaking to migrate any occurrence of QDomDocument etc. to QXMLStreamWriter and QXMLStreamReader (our whole project saving and loading engine is based on this). And when we do this we will likely have to increase the major version number of QGIS. In order not to introduce more work, please consider using QXMLStreamWriter and QXMLStreamReader for new code you write that involves parsing or producing XML. That does not concern working on code that is based on code that is currently based on QtXml methods.
