<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QAbstractXmlReceiver class provides a callback interface for transforming the output of a <a href="qxmlquery.html">QXmlQuery</a>.</p>
<p>QAbstractXmlReceiver is an abstract base class that provides a callback interface for receiving an <a href="#xquery-sequence">XQuery sequence</a>, usually the output of an <a href="qxmlquery.html">QXmlQuery</a>, and transforming that sequence into a structure of your choosing, usually XML. Consider the example:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type"><a href="qxmlquery.html">QXmlQuery</a></span> query;
query<span class="operator">.</span>setQuery(<span class="string">"doc('index.html')/html/body/p[1]"</span>);
<span class="type"><a href="qxmlserializer.html">QXmlSerializer</a></span> serializer(query<span class="operator">,</span> myOutputDevice);
query<span class="operator">.</span>evaluateTo(<span class="operator">&</span>serializer);</pre>
<p>First it constructs a <a href="qxmlquery.html">query</a> that gets the first paragraph from document <tt>index.html</tt>. Then it constructs an <a href="qxmlserializer.html">XML serializer</a> with the <a href="qxmlquery.html">query</a> and <a href="qiodevice.html">myOutputDevice</a> (Note the <a href="qxmlserializer.html">serializer</a> is an <i>XML receiver</i>, ie a subclass of QAbstractXmlReceiver). Finally, it <a href="qxmlquery.html#evaluateTo">evaluates</a> the <a href="qxmlquery.html">query</a>, producing an ordered sequence of calls to the <a href="qxmlserializer.html">serializer's</a> callback functions. The sequence of callbacks transforms the query output to XML and writes it to <a href="qiodevice.html">myOutputDevice</a>.</p>
<p>Although the example uses <a href="qxmlquery.html">QXmlQuery</a> to produce the sequence of callbacks to functions in QAbstractXmlReceiver, you can call the callback functions directly as long as your sequence of calls represents a valid <a href="#xquery-sequence">XQuery sequence</a>.</p>
<a name="xquery-sequence"></a><a name="xquery-sequences"></a>
<h3>XQuery Sequences</h3>
<p>An <a href="xmlprocessing.html">XQuery</a> <i>sequence</i> is an ordered collection of zero, one, or many <i>items</i>. Each <i>item</i> is either an <i>atomic value</i> or a <i>node</i>. An <i>atomic value</i> is a simple data value.</p>
<p>There are six kinds of <i>nodes</i>.</p>
<ul>
<li>An <i>Element Node</i> represents an XML element.</li>
<li>An <i>Attribute Node</i> represents an XML attribute.</li>
<li>A <i>Document Node</i> represents an entire XML document.</li>
<li>A <i>Text Node</i> represents character data (element content).</li>
<li>A <i>Processing Instruction Node</i> represents an XML processing instruction, which is used in an XML document to tell the application reading the document to perform some action. A typical example is to use a processing instruction to tell the application to use a particular XSLT stylesheet to display the document.</li>
<li>And a <i>Comment node</i> represents an XML comment.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <i>sequence</i> of <i>nodes</i> and <i>atomic values</i> obeys the following rules. Note that <i>Namespace Node</i> refers to a special <i>Attribute Node</i> with name <i>xmlns</i>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Each <i>node</i> appears in the <i>sequence</i> before its children and their descendants appear.</li>
<li>A <i>node</i>'s descendants appear in the <i>sequence</i> before any of its siblings appear.</li>
<li>A <i>Document Node</i> represents an entire document. Zero or more <i>Document Nodes</i> can appear in a <i>sequence</i>, but they can only be top level items (i.e., a <i>Document Node</i> can't be a child of another <i>node</i>.</li>
<li><i>Namespace Nodes</i> immediately follow the <i>Element Node</i> with which they are associated.</li>
<li><i>Attribute Nodes</i> immediately follow the <i>Namespace Nodes</i> of the element with which they are associated, or...</li>
<li>If there are no <i>Namespace Nodes</i> following an element, then the <i>Attribute Nodes</i> immediately follow the element.</li>
<li>An <i>atomic value</i> can only appear as a top level <i>item</i>, i.e., it can't appear as a child of a <i>node</i>.</li>
<li><i>Processing Instruction Nodes</i> do not have children, and their parent is either a <i>Document Node</i> or an <i>Element Node</i>.</li>
<li><i>Comment Nodes</i> do not have children, and their parent is either a <i>Document Node</i> or an <i>Element Node</i>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <i>sequence</i> of <i>nodes</i> and <i>atomic values</i> is sent to an QAbstractXmlReceiver (<a href="qxmlserializer.html">QXmlSerializer</a> in the example above) as a sequence of calls to the receiver's callback functions. The mapping of callback functions to sequence items is as follows.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#startDocument">startDocument</a>() and <a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#endDocument">endDocument</a>() are called for each <i>Document Node</i> in the <i>sequence</i>. <a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#endDocument">endDocument</a>() is not called until all the <i>Document Node's</i> children have appeared in the <i>sequence</i>.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#startElement">startElement</a>() and <a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#endElement">endElement</a>() are called for each <i>Element Node</i>. <a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#endElement">endElement</a>() is not called until all the <i>Element Node's</i> children have appeared in the <i>sequence</i>.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#attribute">attribute</a>() is called for each <i>Attribute Node</i>.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#comment">comment</a>() is called for each <i>Comment Node</i>.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#characters">characters</a>() is called for each <i>Text Node</i>.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#processingInstruction">processingInstruction</a>() is called for each <i>Processing Instruction Node</i>.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#namespaceBinding">namespaceBinding</a>() is called for each <i>Namespace Node</i>.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#atomicValue">atomicValue</a>() is called for each <i>atomic value</i>.</li>
</ul>

<p>This callback is called when a namespace binding is in scope of an element. A namespace is defined by a URI. In the <a href="qxmlname.html">QXmlName</a> <i>name</i>, the value of <a href="qxmlname.html#namespaceUrix">QXmlName::namespaceUri</a>() is that URI.

<p>This callback is called when a processing instruction appears in the <a href="qabstractxmlreceiver.html#xquery-sequence">sequence</a>. A processing instruction is used in an XML document to tell the application reading the document to perform some action. A typical example is to use a processing instruction to tell the application to use a particular XSLT stylesheet to process the document.</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <?xml-stylesheet type="test/xsl" href="formatter.xsl"?></pre>
<p><i>target</i> is the <a href="qxmlname.html">name</a> of the processing instruction. Its <i>prefix</i> and <i>namespace URI</i> must both be empty. Its <i>local name</i> is the target. In the above example, the name is <i>xml-stylesheet</i>.</p>
<p>The <i>value</i> specifies the action to be taken. Note that the <i>value</i> must not contain the string "?>". In the above example, the <i>value</i> is <i>type="test/xsl" href="formatter.xsl</i>.</p>
<p>Generally, use of processing instructions should be avoided, because they are not namespace aware and in many contexts are stripped out anyway. Processing instructions can often be replaced with elements from a custom namespace.</p>
