Detailed Description

Character data as used in XML specifies a generic data string. More specialized versions of this class are QDomText , QDomComment and QDomCDATASection .

The data string is set with setData() and retrieved with data() . You can retrieve a portion of the data string using substringData() . Extra data can be appended with appendData() , or inserted with insertData() . Portions of the data string can be deleted with deleteData() or replaced with replaceData() . The length of the data string is returned by length() .

The node type of the node containing this character data is returned by nodeType() .

__init__()

Constructs an empty character data object.

__init__(characterData)
Parameters:

characterDataQDomCharacterData

Constructs a copy of characterData.

The data of the copy is shared (shallow copy): modifying one node will also change the other. If you want to make a deep copy, use cloneNode() .

appendData(arg)
Parameters:

arg – str

Appends the string arg to the stored string.

data()
Return type:

str

Returns the string stored in this object.

If the node is a null node , it will return an empty string.
