Get the first level of child nodes using QDOMDocument

I'm trying to parse an Xml file using QDomDocument.
I've got the root element. Now I need to find and extract specfic nodes
under the root element but only at the first level of hierarchy.

I tried to use:

QDomElement root = doc.documentElement();

QDomNodeList nodeList = root.elementsByTagName("apple");

But this returns me a nodeList which contains the nodes with tag Name "apple"
in all levels of hierarchy. But I need only a first level search.

Could someone please help me out.
Thanks

There's no method to do exactly what you want but it's easy to achieve by iterating over the children with something like:

QList<QDomElement> elements;
QDomElement child = root.firstChildElement("apple");
while(!child.isNull()) {
  elements.append( child );
  child = child.nextSiblingElement("apple");
}
