68The QXmlReader class provides an interface for XML readers (i.e.
69parsers).
70
71<p>
72
73<p> This abstract class provides an interface for all of Qt's XML
74readers. Currently there is only one implementation of a reader
75included in Qt's XML module: <a href="qxmlsimplereader.html">QXmlSimpleReader</a>. In future releases
76there might be more readers with different properties available
77(e.g. a validating parser).
78<p> The design of the XML classes follows the <a href="http://www.saxproject.org/">SAX2 Java interface</a>, with
79the names adapted to fit Qt naming conventions. It should be very
80easy for anybody who has worked with SAX2 to get started with the
81Qt XML classes.
82<p> All readers use the class <a href="qxmlinputsource.html">QXmlInputSource</a> to read the input
83document. Since you are normally interested in particular content
84in the XML document, the reader reports the content through
85special handler classes (<a href="qxmldtdhandler.html">QXmlDTDHandler</a>, <a href="qxmldeclhandler.html">QXmlDeclHandler</a>,
86<a href="qxmlcontenthandler.html">QXmlContentHandler</a>, <a href="qxmlentityresolver.html">QXmlEntityResolver</a>, <a href="qxmlerrorhandler.html">QXmlErrorHandler</a> and
87<a href="qxmllexicalhandler.html">QXmlLexicalHandler</a>), which you must subclass, if you want to
88process the contents.
89<p> Since the handler classes only describe interfaces you must
90implement all the functions. We provide the <a href="qxmldefaulthandler.html">QXmlDefaultHandler</a>
91class to make this easier: it implements a default behaviour (do
92nothing) for all functions, so you can subclass it and just
93implement the functions you are interested in.
94<p> Features and properties of the reader can be set with <a href="#setFeature">setFeature</a>()
95and <a href="#setProperty">setProperty</a>() respectively. You can set the reader to use your
96own subclasses with <a href="#setEntityResolver">setEntityResolver</a>(), <a href="#setDTDHandler">setDTDHandler</a>(),
97<a href="#setContentHandler">setContentHandler</a>(), <a href="#setErrorHandler">setErrorHandler</a>(), <a href="#setLexicalHandler">setLexicalHandler</a>() and
98<a href="#setDeclHandler">setDeclHandler</a>(). The parse itself is started with a call to
99<a href="#parse">parse</a>().
