QDomEntity(3qt)

💖 QDomEntity 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the QDomEntity(3qt) page — the manual page for the Qt class that represents an XML entity. yes, that's the NAME section, we're doing this properly 💅

✨ NAME ✨

QDomEntity — Represents an XML entity 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ok so first thing, the important vibe check: all the functions in this class are reentrant when Qt is built with thread support. 🔥

#include <qdom.h>

Inherits QDomNode.

👑 Public Members 👑

• QDomEntity ()
• QDomEntity ( const QDomEntity & x )
• QDomEntity & operator= ( const QDomEntity & x )
• ~QDomEntity ()
• virtual QString publicId () const
• virtual QString systemId () const
• virtual QString notationName () const
• virtual QDomNode::NodeType nodeType () const
• virtual bool isEntity () const

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

The QDomEntity class represents an XML entity. no cap, that's literally the whole job description.

So here's the tea 🍓: this class represents an entity in an XML document, whether it's parsed or unparsed. and bestie, listen — this models the entity itself, not the entity declaration. two different things, don't get it twisted.

DOM does not support editing entity nodes. like, at all. so if a user wants to change the contents of an entity, here's the whole procedure: every related QDomEntityReference node must be replaced in the DOM tree by a clone of the entity's contents, and then the desired changes must be made to each of the clones instead. that's the only way. and heads up — all the descendents of an entity node are read-only. 💀

Also: an entity node does not have any parent. orphan behavior, honestly, main character energy.

You can access the entity's publicId(), systemId() and notationName() when available. 🫶

For further information about the Document Object Model see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-DOM-Level-1/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/. For a more general introduction of the DOM implementation see the QDomDocument documentation.

🧚 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 🧚

QDomEntity::QDomEntity ()

Constructs an empty entity. blank slate, iconic, no thoughts head empty ✨

QDomEntity::QDomEntity ( const QDomEntity & x )

Constructs a copy of x.

The data of the copy is shared (shallow copy): modifying one node will also change the other. If you want to make a deep copy, use cloneNode(). ⚠️ yes this is real, yes it will get you, be careful bestie

QDomEntity::~QDomEntity ()

Destroys the object and frees its resources. bye girl 👋💜

bool QDomEntity::isEntity () const [virtual]

Returns TRUE.

Reimplemented from QDomNode.

QDomNode::NodeType QDomEntity::nodeType () const [virtual]

Returns EntityNode.

Reimplemented from QDomNode.

QString QDomEntity::notationName () const [virtual]

For unparsed entities this function returns the name of the notation for the entity. For parsed entities this function returns QString::null. 🫠

QDomEntity & QDomEntity::operator= ( const QDomEntity & x )

Assigns x to this DOM entity.

The data of the copy is shared (shallow copy): modifying one node will also change the other. If you want to make a deep copy, use cloneNode(). same warning as before, it's giving déjà vu 💅

QString QDomEntity::publicId () const [virtual]

Returns the public identifier associated with this entity. If the public identifier was not specified QString::null is returned. 🌈

QString QDomEntity::systemId () const [virtual]

Returns the system identifier associated with this entity. If the system identifier was not specified QString::null is returned. ⭐
