\title QXmlStream Bookmarks Example
The QXmlStream Bookmarks example provides a reader for XML Bookmark
Exchange Language (XBEL) files using Qt's QXmlStreamReader class
for reading, and QXmlStreamWriter class for writing the files.
\image xmlstreamexample-screenshot.png
\section1 XbelWriter Class Definition
The \c XbelWriter class contains a private instance of QXmlStreamWriter,
which provides an XML writer with a streaming API. \c XbelWriter also
has a reference to the QTreeWidget instance where the bookmark hierarchy
is stored.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelwriter.h 0
\section1 XbelWriter Class Implementation
The \c XbelWriter constructor accepts a \a treeWidget to initialize within
its definition. We enable \l{QXmlStreamWriter}'s auto-formatting property
to ensure line-breaks and indentations are added automatically to empty
sections between elements, increasing readability as the data is split into
several lines.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelwriter.cpp 0
The \c writeFile() function accepts a QIODevice object and sets it using
\c setDevice(). This function then writes the document type
definition(DTD), the start element, the version, and \c{treeWidget}'s
top-level items.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelwriter.cpp 1
The \c writeItem() function accepts a QTreeWidgetItem object and writes it
to the stream, depending on its \c tagName, which can either be a "folder",
"bookmark", or "separator".
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelwriter.cpp 2
\section1 XbelReader Class Definition
The \c XbelReader contains a private instance of QXmlStreamReader, the
companion class to QXmlStreamWriter. \c XbelReader also contains a
reference to the QTreeWidget that is used to group the bookmarks according
to their hierarchy.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.h 0
\section1 XbelReader Class Implementation
The \c XbelReader constructor accepts a QTreeWidget to initialize the
\c treeWidget within its definition. A QStyle object is used to set
\c{treeWidget}'s style property. The \c folderIcon is set to QIcon::Normal
mode where the pixmap is only displayed when the user is not interacting
with the icon. The QStyle::SP_DirClosedIcon, QStyle::SP_DirOpenIcon, and
QStyle::SP_FileIcon correspond to standard pixmaps that follow the style
of your GUI.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.cpp 0
The \c read() function accepts a QIODevice and sets it using
\l{QXmlStreamReader::}{setDevice()}. The actual process of reading only
takes place if the file is a valid XBEL 1.0 file. Note that the XML input
needs to be well-formed to be accepted by QXmlStreamReader. Otherwise, the
\l{QXmlStreamReader::}{raiseError()} function is used to display an error
message. Since the XBEL reader is only concerned with reading XML elements,
it makes extensive use of the \l{QXmlStreamReader::}{readNextStartElement()}
convenience function.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.cpp 1
The \c errorString() function is used if an error occurred, in order to
obtain a description of the error complete with line and column number
information.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.cpp 2
The \c readXBEL() function reads the name of a startElement and calls
the appropriate function to read it, depending on whether if its a
"folder", "bookmark" or "separator". Otherwise, it calls
\l{QXmlStreamReader::}{skipCurrentElement()}. The Q_ASSERT() macro is used
to provide a pre-condition for the function.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.cpp 3
The \c readTitle() function reads the bookmark's title.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.cpp 4
The \c readSeparator() function creates a separator and sets its flags.
The text is set to 30 "0xB7", the HEX equivalent for period. The element
is then skipped using \l{QXmlStreamReader::}{skipCurrentElement()}.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/xbelreader.cpp 5
\section1 MainWindow Class Definition
The \c MainWindow class is a subclass of QMainWindow, with a
\c File menu and a \c Help menu.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.h 0
\section1 MainWindow Class Implementation
The \c MainWindow constructor instantiates the QTreeWidget object, \c
treeWidget and sets its header with a QStringList object, \c labels.
The constructor also invokes \c createActions() and \c createMenus()
to set up the menus and their corresponding actions. The \c statusBar()
is used to display the message "Ready" and the window's size is fixed
to 480x320 pixels.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 0
The \c open() function enables the user to open an XBEL file using
QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(). A warning message is displayed along
with the \c fileName and \c errorString if the file cannot be read or
if there is a parse error.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 1
The \c saveAs() function displays a QFileDialog, prompting the user for
a \c fileName using QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(). Similar to the
\c open() function, this function also displays a warning message if
the file cannot be written to.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 2
The \c about() function displays a QMessageBox with a brief description
of the example.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 3
In order to implement the \c open(), \c saveAs(), \c exit(), \c about()
and \c aboutQt() functions, we connect them to QAction objects and
add them to the \c fileMenu and \c helpMenu. The connections are as shown
below:
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 4
The \c createMenus() function creates the \c fileMenu and \c helpMenu
and adds the QAction objects to them in order to create the menu shown
in the screenshot below:
\table
\row
\o \inlineimage xmlstreamexample-filemenu.png
\o \inlineimage xmlstreamexample-helpmenu.png
\endtable
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/mainwindow.cpp 5
\section1 \c{main()} Function
The \c main() function instantiates \c MainWindow and invokes the \c show()
function.
\snippet examples/xml/streambookmarks/main.cpp 0
See the \l{http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/xbel/}
{XML Bookmark Exchange Language Resource Page} for more information
about XBEL files.
