QXmlLocator Class Reference
^{[QtXml module]}

The QXmlLocator class provides the XML handler classes with information about the parsing position within a file. More...

Methods

• __init__ (self)
• __init__ (self, QXmlLocator)
• int columnNumber (self)
• int lineNumber (self)

The reader reports a QXmlLocator to the content handler before it starts to parse the document. This is done with the QXmlContentHandler.setDocumentLocator() function. The handler classes can now use this locator to get the position (lineNumber() and columnNumber()) that the reader has reached.
