container to store unique strings

[user4592357]

i need to store unique strings in a container. i know i can use qset. however, inserts and finds will be frequent. so i'd like to store them in something like a hash. but i only have strings (i.e. keys) and not values. what should i use?

How about QStringList? It's a type declaration to QList<QString>.
Depending on your actual needs you can also use QVector<QString>. Either documentation lists advantages/disadvantages over the other one.

Quoting http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qset.html :

QSet<T> is one of Qt's generic container classes. It stores values in an unspecified order and provides very fast lookup of the values. Internally, QSet<T> is implemented as a QHash.
