💖 QDomCDATASection 💖

ok bestie, welcome to the QDomCDATASection(3qt) page — yes it's a Qt 3 man page, yes it's from 2007, and yes we are still gonna make it cute. it's the class that represents an XML CDATA section, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty." 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

QDomCDATASection — Represents an XML CDATA section. periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ok so first thing, no cap, a little disclaimer straight from the source:

All the functions in this class are reentrant when Qt is built with thread support.

(yeah, there's a stray </p> in there. we don't talk about it. 💀)

here's the include, keep it exact bestie:

#include <qdom.h>

Inherits QDomText. so it's a glow-up of QDomText, which is itself a glow-up of other stuff. main character lineage fr. 👑

🌟 Public Members 🌟

QDomCDATASection ()
QDomCDATASection ( const QDomCDATASection & x )
QDomCDATASection & operator= ( const QDomCDATASection & x )
~QDomCDATASection ()
virtual QDomNode::NodeType nodeType () const
virtual bool isCDATASection () const

look at that. constructor, copy constructor, assignment, destructor, and two lil virtuals. iconic, no notes. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The QDomCDATASection class represents an XML CDATA section. that's the whole vibe.

so like, what IS a CDATA section? bestie, it's a little escape pod 🛸 for blocks of text that contain characters that would otherwise be treated as markup. you know how annoying it is when your text has < and & all over it and everything explodes? CDATA said "not today." the only delimiter it recognizes is the "]]>" string — and that's what terminates the CDATA section. that's it. one job.

CDATA sections cannot be nested. do not try it. 🙈

their primary purpose is for including material such as XML fragments, without needing to escape all the delimiters. so you can just paste your lil fragment in and chill. 💅

also important, listen up: adjacent QDomCDATASection nodes are not merged by the QDomNode::normalize() function. so don't expect them to smoosh together. they stay separate, they stay independent, they stay unbothered. 💜

want the deep lore? for further information about the Document Object Model see:

and for a more general introduction of the DOM implementation, see the QDomDocument documentation.

See also: XML.

💅 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 💅

QDomCDATASection::QDomCDATASection ()

Constructs an empty CDATA section. empty. blank. a canvas. 🎨

to create a CDATA section with content, use the QDomDocument::createCDATASection() function. that's the one that actually puts something in there, iykyk.

QDomCDATASection::QDomCDATASection ( const QDomCDATASection & x )

Constructs a copy of x.

now here's the tea ☕ — the data of the copy is shared (shallow copy): modifying one node will also change the other. they're linked. soulmates, unfortunately. 😭

if you want to make a deep copy, use cloneNode().

QDomCDATASection::~QDomCDATASection ()

Destroys the object and frees its resources. rip lil guy, you did great. 🫶

bool QDomCDATASection::isCDATASection () const [virtual]

Returns TRUE.

that's it. that's the whole function. it ate and left no crumbs. 💀

Reimplemented from QDomNode.

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

Returns CDATASection.

again: short, sweet, correct. ⭐

Reimplemented from QDomText.

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

Assigns x to this CDATA section.

and same warning as before, bestie, because it matters: 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().

do not forget this. do not come back to me later like "why did my other node change." 🔥
