Classes for String Data

These classes are relevant when working with string data. See the information about support for Unicode in Qt for more information.

QAnyStringView

Unified view on Latin-1, UTF-8, or UTF-16 strings with a read-only subset of the QString API

QByteArray

Array of bytes

QByteArrayList

List of byte arrays

QByteArrayMatcher

Holds a sequence of bytes that can be quickly matched in a byte array

QByteArrayView

View on an array of bytes with a read-only subset of the QByteArray API

QChar

16-bit Unicode character

QCollator

Compares strings according to a localized collation algorithm

QCollatorSortKey

Can be used to speed up string collation

QLatin1Char

8-bit ASCII/Latin-1 character

QLatin1StringMatcher

Optimized search for substring in Latin-1 text

Pattern matching using regular expressions

QRegularExpressionMatch

The results of a matching a QRegularExpression against a string

QRegularExpressionMatchIterator

Iterator on the results of a global match of a QRegularExpression object against a string
