QXmlLocator(3qt)

📦 version 3.3.8b, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 QXmlLocator — the 3qt manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, listen. this is QXmlLocator, a class from the 3qt man pages, and it's literally the little GPS pin for XML parsing. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

QXmlLocator — the XML handler classes with information about the parsing position within a file

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the tea: all the functions in this class are reentrant when Qt is built with thread support.

#include <qxml.h>

🎀 Public Members 🎀

  • QXmlLocator ()
  • virtual ~QXmlLocator ()
  • virtual int columnNumber () = 0
  • virtual int lineNumber () = 0

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The QXmlLocator class provides the XML handler classes with information about the parsing position within a file. it's giving "where are we bestie" energy, and honestly? iconic.

The reader reports a QXmlLocator to the content handler before it starts to parse the document. This is done with the QXmlContentHandler::setDocumentLocator() function. The handler classes can now use this locator to get the position (lineNumber() and columnNumber()) that the reader has reached. so basically the reader hands you the map before the road trip starts 🗺️✨
