The QXmlReader class provides an interface for XML readers (i.e.
parsers).

<p> 

<p> This abstract class provides an interface for all of Qt's XML
readers. Currently there is only one implementation of a reader
included in Qt's XML module: <a href="qxmlsimplereader.html">QXmlSimpleReader</a>. In future releases
there might be more readers with different properties available
(e.g. a validating parser).
<p> The design of the XML classes follows the <a href="http://www.saxproject.org/">SAX2 Java interface</a>, with
the names adapted to fit Qt naming conventions. It should be very
easy for anybody who has worked with SAX2 to get started with the
Qt XML classes.
<p> All readers use the class <a href="qxmlinputsource.html">QXmlInputSource</a> to read the input
document. Since you are normally interested in particular content
in the XML document, the reader reports the content through
special handler classes (<a href="qxmldtdhandler.html">QXmlDTDHandler</a>, <a href="qxmldeclhandler.html">QXmlDeclHandler</a>,
<a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html">QXmlContentHandler</a>, <a href="qxmlentityresolver.html">QXmlEntityResolver</a>, <a href="qxmlerrorhandler.html">QXmlErrorHandler</a> and
<a href="qxmllexicalhandler.html">QXmlLexicalHandler</a>), which you must subclass, if you want to
process the contents.
<p> Since the handler classes only describe interfaces you must
implement all the functions. We provide the <a href="qxmldefaulthandler.html">QXmlDefaultHandler</a>
class to make this easier: it implements a default behaviour (do
nothing) for all functions, so you can subclass it and just
implement the functions you are interested in.
<p> Features and properties of the reader can be set with <a href="#setFeature">setFeature</a>()
and <a href="#setProperty">setProperty</a>() respectively. You can set the reader to use your
own subclasses with <a href="#setEntityResolver">setEntityResolver</a>(), <a href="#setDTDHandler">setDTDHandler</a>(),
<a href="#setContentHandler">setContentHandler</a>(), <a href="#setErrorHandler">setErrorHandler</a>(), <a href="#setLexicalHandler">setLexicalHandler</a>() and
<a href="#setDeclHandler">setDeclHandler</a>(). The parse itself is started with a call to
<a href="#parse">parse</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="qxmlsimplereader.html">QXmlSimpleReader</a> and <a href="xml-tools.html">XML</a>.
