    \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.
