<!-- $$$QTextCodec-description -->
<div class="descr">
<h2 id="details">Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The <a href="qtextcodec.html">QTextCodec</a> class provides conversions between text encodings.</p>
<p>Qt uses Unicode to store, draw and manipulate strings. In many situations you may wish to deal with data that uses a different encoding. For example, most Japanese documents are still stored in Shift-JIS or ISO 2022-JP, while Russian users often have their documents in KOI8-R or Windows-1251.</p>
<p>Qt provides a set of <a href="qtextcodec.html">QTextCodec</a> classes to help with converting non-Unicode formats to and from Unicode. You can also create your own codec classes.</p>
<p>The supported encodings are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="codec-big5.html">Big5</a></li>
<li><a href="codec-big5hkscs.html">Big5-HKSCS</a></li>
<li>CP949</li>
<li><a href="codec-eucjp.html">EUC-JP</a></li>
<li><a href="codec-euckr.html">EUC-KR</a></li>
<li><a href="codec-gbk.html">GB18030</a></li>
<li>HP-ROMAN8</li>
<li>IBM 850</li>
<li>IBM 866</li>
<li>IBM 874</li>
<li><a href="codecs-jis.html">ISO 2022-JP</a></li>
<li>ISO 8859-1 to 10</li>
<li>ISO 8859-13 to 16</li>
<li>Iscii-Bng, Dev, Gjr, Knd, Mlm, Ori, Pnj, Tlg, and Tml</li>
<li>KOI8-R</li>
<li>KOI8-U</li>
<li>Macintosh</li>
<li><a href="codec-sjis.html">Shift-JIS</a></li>
<li>TIS-620</li>
<li><a href="codec-tscii.html">TSCII</a></li>
<li>UTF-8</li>
<li>UTF-16</li>
<li>UTF-16BE</li>
<li>UTF-16LE</li>
<li>UTF-32</li>
<li>UTF-32BE</li>
<li>UTF-32LE</li>
<li>Windows-1250 to 1258</li>
</ul>
<p>If Qt is compiled with ICU support enabled, most codecs supported by ICU will also be available to the application.</p>
<p><a href="qtextcodec.html">QTextCodec</a>s can be used as follows to convert some locally encoded string to Unicode. Suppose you have some string encoded in Russian KOI8-R encoding, and want to convert it to Unicode. The simple way to do it is like this:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type"><a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a></span> encodedString <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="string">&quot;...&quot;</span>;
  <span class="type"><a href="qtextcodec.html#QTextCodec">QTextCodec</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>codec <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="type"><a href="qtextcodec.html#QTextCodec">QTextCodec</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>codecForName(<span class="string">&quot;KOI8-R&quot;</span>);
  <span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span> string <span class="operator">=</span> codec<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>toUnicode(encodedString);

</pre>
<p>After this, <code>string</code> holds the text converted to Unicode. Converting a string from Unicode to the local encoding is just as easy:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span> string <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="string">&quot;...&quot;</span>;
  <span class="type"><a href="qtextcodec.html#QTextCodec">QTextCodec</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>codec <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="type"><a href="qtextcodec.html#QTextCodec">QTextCodec</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>codecForName(<span class="string">&quot;KOI8-R&quot;</span>);
  <span class="type"><a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a></span> encodedString <span class="operator">=</span> codec<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>fromUnicode(string);

</pre>
<p>To read or write files in various encodings, use <a href="qtextstream.html">QTextStream</a> and its <a href="qtextstream.html#setCodec">setCodec()</a> function. See the <a href="../qtwidgets/qtwidgets-tools-codecs-example.html">Codecs</a> example for an application of <a href="qtextcodec.html">QTextCodec</a> to file I/O.</p>
<p>Some care must be taken when trying to convert the data in chunks, for example, when receiving it over a network. In such cases it is possible that a multi-byte character will be split over two chunks. At best this might result in the loss of a character and at worst cause the entire conversion to fail.</p>
<p>The approach to use in these situations is to create a <a href="qtextdecoder.html">QTextDecoder</a> object for the codec and use this <a href="qtextdecoder.html">QTextDecoder</a> for the whole decoding process, as shown below:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type"><a href="qtextcodec.html#QTextCodec">QTextCodec</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>codec <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="type"><a href="qtextcodec.html#QTextCodec">QTextCodec</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>codecForName(<span class="string">&quot;Shift-JIS&quot;</span>);
  <span class="type"><a href="qtextdecoder.html">QTextDecoder</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>decoder <span class="operator">=</span> codec<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>makeDecoder();

  <span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span> string;
  <span class="keyword">while</span> (new_data_available()) {
      <span class="type"><a href="qbytearray.html">QByteArray</a></span> chunk <span class="operator">=</span> get_new_data();
      string <span class="operator">+</span><span class="operator">=</span> decoder<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>toUnicode(chunk);
  }
  <span class="keyword">delete</span> decoder;

</pre>
<p>The <a href="qtextdecoder.html">QTextDecoder</a> object maintains state between chunks and therefore works correctly even if a multi-byte character is split between chunks.</p>
<a name="creating-your-own-codec-class"></a>
<h3 id="creating-your-own-codec-class">Creating Your Own Codec Class</h3>
<p>Support for new text encodings can be added to Qt by creating <a href="qtextcodec.html">QTextCodec</a> subclasses.</p>
<p>The pure virtual functions describe the encoder to the system and the coder is used as required in the different text file formats supported by <a href="qtextstream.html">QTextStream</a>, and under X11, for the locale-specific character input and output.</p>
<p>To add support for another encoding to Qt, make a subclass of <a href="qtextcodec.html">QTextCodec</a> and implement the functions listed in the table below.</p>
<div class="table"><table class="generic">
