Detailed Description

This abstract class describes an interface for all XML readers in Qt. At the moment there is only one implementation of a reader included in the XML module of Qt (QXmlSimpleReader). In future releases there might be more readers with different properties available (e.g. a validating parser).

The design of the XML classes follow the SAX2 java interface. It was adopted to fit into the Qt naming conventions; so it should be very easy for anybody who has worked with SAX2 to get started with the Qt XML classes.

All readers use the class QXmlInputSource to read the input document from. Since you are normally interested in certain contents of the XML document, the reader reports those contents through special handler classes (QXmlDTDHandler, QXmlDeclHandler, QXmlContentHandler, QXmlEntityResolver, QXmlErrorHandler and QXmlLexicalHandler).

You have to subclass these classes. Since the handler classes describe only interfaces you must implement all functions; there is a class (QXmlDefaultHandler) to make this easier; it implements a default behaviour (do nothing) for all functions.

For getting started see also the Quick start.

Member Function Documentation

QXmlDTDHandler * QXmlReader::DTDHandler () const [pure virtual]

Returns the DTD handler or 0 if none was set.

See also setDTDHandler().

QXmlContentHandler * QXmlReader::contentHandler () const [pure virtual]

Returns the content handler or 0 if none was set.

See also setContentHandler().

QXmlDeclHandler * QXmlReader::declHandler () const [pure virtual]

Returns the declaration handler or 0 if none was set.

See also setDeclHandler().

QXmlEntityResolver * QXmlReader::entityResolver () const [pure virtual]

Returns the entity resolver or 0 if none was set.

See also setEntityResolver().

QXmlErrorHandler * QXmlReader::errorHandler () const [pure virtual]

Returns the error handler or 0 if none was set

See also setErrorHandler().

bool QXmlReader::feature ( const QString & name, bool * ok = 0 ) const [pure virtual]

If the reader has the feature name, this function returns the value of the feature.

If the reader has not the feature name, the return value may be anything.

If ok is not 0, then ok is set to TRUE if the reader has the feature name, otherwise ok is set to FALSE.

See also setFeature() and hasFeature().

Reimplemented in QXmlSimpleReader.

bool QXmlReader::hasFeature ( const QString & name ) const [pure virtual]

Returns TRUE if the reader has the feature name, otherwise FALSE.

See also feature() and setFeature().

Reimplemented in QXmlSimpleReader.

bool QXmlReader::hasProperty ( const QString & name ) const [pure virtual]

Returns TRUE if the reader has the property name, otherwise FALSE.

See also property() and setProperty().

Reimplemented in QXmlSimpleReader.

QXmlLexicalHandler * QXmlReader::lexicalHandler () const [pure virtual]

Returns the lexical handler or 0 if none was set.

See also setLexicalHandler().

bool QXmlReader::parse ( const QXmlInputSource & input ) [pure virtual]

Parses the XML document input. Returns TRUE if the parsing was successful, otherwise FALSE.

void * QXmlReader::property ( const QString & name, bool * ok = 0 ) const [pure virtual]

If the reader has the property name, this function returns the value of the property.

If the reader has not the property name, the return value is 0.

If ok is not 0, then ok is set to TRUE if the reader has the property name, otherwise ok is set to FALSE.

See also setProperty() and hasProperty().

Reimplemented in QXmlSimpleReader.

void QXmlReader::setContentHandler ( QXmlContentHandler * handler ) [pure virtual]

Sets the content handler to handler.

See also contentHandler().

void QXmlReader::setDTDHandler ( QXmlDTDHandler * handler ) [pure virtual]

Sets the DTD handler to handler.

See also DTDHandler().

void QXmlReader::setDeclHandler ( QXmlDeclHandler * handler ) [pure virtual]

Sets the declaration handler to handler.

See also declHandler().

void QXmlReader::setEntityResolver ( QXmlEntityResolver * handler ) [pure virtual]

Sets the entity resolver to handler.

See also entityResolver().

void QXmlReader::setErrorHandler ( QXmlErrorHandler * handler ) [pure virtual]

Sets the error handler to handler.

See also errorHandler().

void QXmlReader::setFeature ( const QString & name, bool value ) [pure virtual]

Sets the feature name to value. If the reader has not the feature name, this value is ignored.

See also feature() and hasFeature().

Reimplemented in QXmlSimpleReader.

void QXmlReader::setLexicalHandler ( QXmlLexicalHandler * handler ) [pure virtual]

Sets the lexical handler to handler.

See also lexicalHandler().

void QXmlReader::setProperty ( const QString & name, void * value ) [pure virtual]

Sets the property name to value. If the reader has not the property name, this value is ignored.

See also property() and hasProperty().

Reimplemented in QXmlSimpleReader.
