QCborMap Class

Member Function Documentation

Returns a map iterator to the key-value pair whose key is key, if the map contains such a pair. If it doesn't, this function returns end().

CBOR recommends using integer keys, since they occupy less space and are simpler to encode and decode.

If the map contains more than one key equal to key, it is undefined which one this function will find. QCborMap does not allow inserting duplicate keys, but it is possible to create such a map by decoding a CBOR stream with them. They are usually not permitted and having duplicate keys is usually an indication of a problem in the sender.

Constructs a QCborMap with items from a brace-initialization list found in args, as in the following example:

QCborMap map = {
    {0, "Hello"},
    {1, "World"},
    {"foo", nullptr},
    {"bar", QCborArray{0, 1, 2, 3, 4}}
};

[noexcept] QCborMap::QCborMap(const QCborMap &other)

Creates a QCborMap object that is a copy of other.

[noexcept] QCborMap::~QCborMap()

Destroys this QCborMap object and frees any associated resources it owns.

QCborMap::iterator QCborMap::begin()

See also isEmpty().

[noexcept] int QCborMap::compare(const QCborMap &other) const

Compares this map and other, comparing each element in sequence, and returns an integer that indicates whether this map should be sorted prior to (if the result is negative) or after other (if the result is positive). If this function returns 0, the two maps are equal and contain the same elements.

Note that CBOR maps are unordered, which means that two maps containing the very same pairs but in different order will still compare differently. To avoid this, it is recommended to insert elements into the map in a predictable order, such as by ascending key value. In fact, maps with keys in sorted order are required for Canonical CBOR representation.

For more information on CBOR sorting order, see QCborValue::compare().

See also QCborValue::compare(), QCborArray::compare(), and operator==().

QCborValue QCborMap::toCborValue() const

Explicitly constructs a QCborValue object that represents this map. This function is usually not necessary since QCborValue has a constructor for QCborMap, so the conversion is implicit.

Converting QCborMap to QCborValue allows it to be used in any context where QCborValues can be used, including as keys and mapped types in QCborMap, as well as QCborValue::toCbor().

See also QCborValue::QCborValue(const QCborMap &).

QJsonObject QCborMap::toJsonObject() const

Recursively converts every QCborValue value in this map to JSON using QCborValue::toJsonValue() and creates a string key for all keys that aren't strings, then returns the corresponding QJsonObject composed of those associations.

Please note that CBOR contains a richer and wider type set than JSON, so some information may be lost in this conversion. For more details on what conversions are applied, see QCborValue::toJsonValue().

Map key conversion to string

JSON objects are defined as having string keys, unlike CBOR, so the conversion of a QCborMap to QJsonObject will imply a step of "stringification" of the key values. The conversion will use the special handling of tags and extended types from above and will also convert the rest of the types as follows:

See also fromJsonObject(), QCborValue::toJsonValue(), QCborArray::toJsonArray(), and toVariantMap().

QVariantHash QCborMap::toVariantHash() const

Converts the CBOR values to QVariant using QCborValue::toVariant() and "stringifies" all the CBOR keys in this map, returning the QVariantHash that results from that association list.

QVariantMaps have string keys, unlike CBOR, so the conversion of a QCborMap to QVariantMap will imply a step of "stringification" of the key values. See QCborMap::toJsonObject() for details.

In addition, the conversion to QVariant is not completely lossless. Please see the documentation in QCborValue::toVariant() for more information.

See also fromVariantHash(), toVariantMap(), toJsonObject(), QCborValue::toVariant(), and QCborArray::toVariantList().

QCborValue QCborMap::value(const QCborValue &key) const

Returns the QCborValue element in this map that corresponds to key key, if there is one.

If the map does not contain key key, this function returns a QCborValue containing an undefined value. For that reason, it is not possible with this function to tell apart the situation where the key was not present from the situation where the key was mapped to an undefined value.

If the map contains more than one key equal to key, it is undefined which one this function will return. QCborMap does not allow inserting duplicate keys, but it is possible to create such a map by decoding a CBOR stream with them. They are usually not permitted and having duplicate keys is usually an indication of a problem in the sender.

QCborValue QCborMap::value(qint64 key) const

Returns the QCborValue element in this map that corresponds to key key, if there is one. CBOR recommends using integer keys, since they occupy less space and are simpler to encode and decode.

If the map does not contain key key, this function returns a QCborValue containing an undefined value. For that reason, it is not possible with this function to tell apart the situation where the key was not present from the situation where the key was mapped to an undefined value.

This is an overloaded function.

Returns the QCborValue element in this map that corresponds to key key, if there is one.

[noexcept] QCborMap &QCborMap::operator=(const QCborMap &other)

Replaces the contents of this object with a copy of other, then returns a reference to this object.

QCborValueRef QCborMap::operator[](qint64 key)

Returns a QCborValueRef to the value in this map that corresponds to key key. CBOR recommends using integer keys, since they occupy less space and are simpler to encode and decode.

QCborValueRef has the exact same API as QCborValue, with one important difference: if you assign new values to it, this map will be updated with that new value.

If the map did not have a key equal to key, one is inserted and this function returns a reference to the new value, which will be a QCborValue with an undefined value. For that reason, it is not possible with this function to tell apart the situation where the key was not present from the situation where the key was mapped to an undefined value.

If the map contains more than one key equal to key, it is undefined which one the return will reference.

QCborValueRef QCborMap::operator[](QLatin1StringView key)

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a QCborValueRef to the value in this map that corresponds to key key.

QCborValueRef has the exact same API as QCborValue, with one important difference: if you assign new values to it, this map will be updated with that new value.

If the map did not have a key equal to key, one is inserted and this function returns a reference to the new value, which will be a QCborValue with an undefined value. For that reason, it is not possible with this function to tell apart the situation where the key was not present from the situation where the key was mapped to an undefined value.

If the map contains more than one key equal to key, it is undefined which one the return will reference. QCborMap does not allow inserting duplicate keys, but it is possible to create such a map by decoding a CBOR stream with them. They are usually not permitted and having duplicate keys is usually an indication of a problem in the sender.

This is an overloaded function.

Returns the QCborValue element in this map that corresponds to key key, if there is one.

If the map does not contain key key, this function returns a QCborValue containing an undefined value. For that reason, it is not possible with this function to tell apart the situation where the key was not present from the situation where the key was mapped to an undefined value.
