Using Qt XML Patterns to query XML data loaded from a file.
The Recipes example shows how to use Qt XML Patterns to query XML data loaded from a file.
						In this case, the XML data represents a cookbook,
						
cookbook.xml
						
						, which contains
						
<cookbook>
						
						as its document element, which in turn contains a sequence of
						
<recipe>
						
						elements. This XML data is searched using queries stored in
						
							XQuery
						
						files (
						
*.xq
						
						).
					
The UI for this example was created using Qt Designer :
 
					
						The UI consists of three
						
							group boxes
						
						arranged vertically. The top one contains a
						
							text viewer
						
						that displays the XML text from the cookbook file. The middle group box contains a
						
							combo box
						
						for choosing the
						
							XQuery
						
						to run and a
						
							text viewer
						
						for displaying the text of the selected
						
							XQuery
						
						。
						
.xq
						
						files in the file list above are shown in the combo box menu. Choosing an
						
							XQuery
						
						loads, parses, and runs the selected
						
							XQuery
						
						. The query result is shown in the bottom group box's
						
							text viewer
						
						.
					
						You can write your own
						
							XQuery
						
						files and run them in the example program. The file
						
xmlpatterns/recipes/recipes.qrc
						
						是
						
							resource file
						
						for this example. It is used in
						
main.cpp
						
						(
						
Q_INIT_RESOURCE(recipes);
						
						). It lists the
						
							XQuery
						
						files (
						
.xq
						
						) that can be selected in the combobox.
					
<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
<qresource>
    <file>files/cookbook.xml</file>
    <file>files/allRecipes.xq</file>
    <file>files/liquidIngredientsInSoup.xq</file>
    <file>files/mushroomSoup.xq</file>
    <file>files/preparationLessThan30.xq</file>
    <file>files/preparationTimes.xq</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
					
					
						To add your own queries to the example's combobox, store your
						
.xq
						
						files in the
						
examples/xmlpatterns/recipes/files
						
						directory and add them to
						
recipes.qrc
						
						as shown above.
					
The example's main() function creates the standard instance of QApplication . Then it creates an instance of the UI class, shows it, and starts the Qt event loop:
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { Q_INIT_RESOURCE(recipes); QApplication app(argc, argv); QueryMainWindow* const queryWindow = new QueryMainWindow; queryWindow->show(); return app.exec(); }
The example's UI is a conventional Qt GUI application inheriting QMainWindow and the class generated by Qt Designer :
class QueryMainWindow : public QMainWindow, private Ui::QueryWidget { Q_OBJECT public: QueryMainWindow(); public slots: void displayQuery(int index); private: QComboBox *ui_defaultQueries = nullptr; void evaluate(const QString &str); void loadInputFile(); };
						The constructor finds the window's
						
							combo box
						
						child widget and connects its
						
							currentIndexChanged()
						
						signal to the window's
						
displayQuery()
						
						slot. It then calls
						
loadInputFile()
						
						to load
						
cookbook.xml
						
						and display its contents in the top group box's
						
							text viewer
						
						. Finally, it finds the
						
							XQuery
						
						files (
						
.xq
						
						) and adds each one to the
						
							combo box
						
						菜单。
					
QueryMainWindow::QueryMainWindow() { setupUi(this); new XmlSyntaxHighlighter(findChild<QTextEdit*>("inputTextEdit")->document()); new XmlSyntaxHighlighter(findChild<QTextEdit*>("outputTextEdit")->document()); ui_defaultQueries = findChild<QComboBox*>("defaultQueries"); QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName(this); connect(ui_defaultQueries, QOverload<int>::of(&QComboBox::currentIndexChanged), this, &QueryMainWindow::displayQuery); loadInputFile(); const QStringList queries(QDir(":/files/", "*.xq").entryList()); for (const auto &query : queries) ui_defaultQueries->addItem(query); if (queries.count() > 0) displayQuery(0); }
The work is done in the displayQuery() slot and the evaluate() function it calls. displayQuery() loads and displays the selected query file and passes the XQuery text to evaluate() .
void QueryMainWindow::displayQuery(int index) { QFile queryFile(QString(":files/") + ui_defaultQueries->itemText(index)); queryFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly); const QString query(QString::fromLatin1(queryFile.readAll())); findChild<QTextEdit*>("queryTextEdit")->setPlainText(query); evaluate(query); }
						
							evaluate()
						
						demonstrates the standard Qt XML Patterns usage pattern. First, an instance of
						
							QXmlQuery
						
						is created (
						
query
						
						)。
						
query's
						
						
							bindVariable()
						
						function is then called to bind the
						
cookbook.xml
						
						file to the
						
							XQuery
						
						variable
						
inputDocument
						
						.
						
							后于
						
						the variable is bound,
						
							setQuery()
						
						is called to pass the
						
							XQuery
						
						text to the
						
query
						
						.
					
注意: setQuery() must be called after bindVariable() .
Passing the XQuery to setQuery() causes Qt XML Patterns to parse the XQuery . QXmlQuery::isValid () is called to ensure that the XQuery was correctly parsed.
void QueryMainWindow::evaluate(const QString &str) { QFile sourceDocument; sourceDocument.setFileName(":/files/cookbook.xml"); sourceDocument.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly); QByteArray outArray; QBuffer buffer(&outArray); buffer.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite); QXmlQuery query; query.bindVariable("inputDocument", &sourceDocument); query.setQuery(str); if (!query.isValid()) return; QXmlFormatter formatter(query, &buffer); if (!query.evaluateTo(&formatter)) return; buffer.close(); findChild<QTextEdit*>("outputTextEdit")->setPlainText(QString::fromUtf8(outArray.constData())); }
若 XQuery is valid, an instance of QXmlFormatter is created to format the query result as XML into a QBuffer . To evaluate the XQuery , an overload of evaluateTo() is called that takes a QAbstractXmlReceiver for its output ( QXmlFormatter inherits QAbstractXmlReceiver). Finally, the formatted XML result is displayed in the UI's bottom text view.
						
							注意:
						
						每个
						
							XQuery
						
						
.xq
						
						file must declare the
						
$inputDocument
						
						variable to represent the
						
cookbook.xml
						
						document:
					
(: All ingredients for Mushroom Soup. :)
declare variable $inputDocument external;
doc($inputDocument)/cookbook/recipe[@xml:id = "MushroomSoup"]/ingredient/
<p>{@name, @quantity}</p>
					
					
						
							注意:
						
						If you add add your own query.xq files, you must declare the
						
$inputDocument
						
						and use it as shown above.
