StartDocument() method: Usage
-
Hi All,
I am not able to grasp what exactly does the startDocument() method does when parsing an XML document.
In my text book the following is given;
@
bool myHandler::startDocument(){indent =" " // indent is a QString object
return true;
@
I cannot understand why this is required as there is no testing that is done.
Thanks

Just to add to the above.
The methods that were used in the derived MyHandler class (derived/sub-classed from QXmlDefaultHandler class) are
bool startDocument()
bool startElement(....)
bool characters(....)
bool endElement(....)I am assuming the return types are bool because if there is a problem with the XML document it will through an error and stops. Else it continues?

Hi,
For more information, you can read the documentation of "QXmlContentHandler":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qxmlcontenthandler.html
Hope it helps
