    \class QVariant
    \inmodule QtCore
    \brief The QVariant class acts like a union for the most common Qt data types.
 
    \ingroup objectmodel
    \ingroup shared
 
    \compares equality
 
    A QVariant object holds a single value of a single typeId() at a
    time. (Some types are multi-valued, for example a string list.)
    You can find out what type, T, the variant holds, convert it to a
    different type using convert(), get its value using one of the
    toT() functions (e.g., toSize()), and check whether the type can
    be converted to a particular type using canConvert().
 
    The methods named toT() (e.g., toInt(), toString()) are const. If
    you ask for the stored type, they return a copy of the stored
    object. If you ask for a type that can be generated from the
    stored type, toT() copies and converts and leaves the object
    itself unchanged. If you ask for a type that cannot be generated
    from the stored type, the result depends on the type; see the
    function documentation for details.
 
    Here is some example code to demonstrate the use of QVariant:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qvariant.cpp 0
 
    You can even store QList<QVariant> and QMap<QString, QVariant>
    values in a variant, so you can easily construct arbitrarily
    complex data structures of arbitrary types. This is very powerful
    and versatile, but may prove less memory and speed efficient than
    storing specific types in standard data structures.
 
    QVariant also supports the notion of null values. A variant is null
    if the variant contains no initialized value, or contains a null pointer.
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qvariant.cpp 1
 
    QVariant can be extended to support other types than those
    mentioned in the \l QMetaType::Type enum.
    See \l{Creating Custom Qt Types}{Creating Custom Qt Types} for details.
 
    \section1 A Note on GUI Types
 
    Because QVariant is part of the Qt Core module, it cannot provide
    conversion functions to data types defined in Qt GUI, such as
    QColor, QImage, and QPixmap. In other words, there is no \c
    toColor() function. Instead, you can use the QVariant::value() or
    the qvariant_cast() template function. For example:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qvariant.cpp 2
 
    The inverse conversion (e.g., from QColor to QVariant) is
    automatic for all data types supported by QVariant, including
    GUI-related types:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qvariant.cpp 3
 
    \section1 Using canConvert() and convert() Consecutively
 
    When using canConvert() and convert() consecutively, it is possible for
    canConvert() to return true, but convert() to return false. This
    is typically because canConvert() only reports the general ability of
    QVariant to convert between types given suitable data; it is still
    possible to supply data which cannot actually be converted.
 
    For example, \c{canConvert(QMetaType::fromType<int>())} would return true
    when called on a variant containing a string because, in principle,
    QVariant is able to convert strings of numbers to integers.
    However, if the string contains non-numeric characters, it cannot be
    converted to an integer, and any attempt to convert it will fail.
    Hence, it is important to have both functions return true for a
    successful conversion.

/*! \fn QVariant::Type QVariant::type() const
    \deprecated [6.0] Use typeId() or metaType() instead.
 
    Returns the storage type of the value stored in the variant.
    Although this function is declared as returning QVariant::Type,
    the return value should be interpreted as QMetaType::Type. In
    particular, QVariant::UserType is returned here only if the value
    is equal or greater than QMetaType::User.
 
    Note that return values in the ranges QVariant::Char through
    QVariant::RegExp and QVariant::Font through QVariant::Transform
    correspond to the values in the ranges QMetaType::QChar through
    QMetaType::QRegularExpression and QMetaType::QFont through QMetaType::QQuaternion.
 
    Pay particular attention when working with char and QChar
    variants.  Note that there is no QVariant constructor specifically
    for type char, but there is one for QChar. For a variant of type
    QChar, this function returns QVariant::Char, which is the same as
    QMetaType::QChar, but for a variant of type \c char, this function
    returns QMetaType::Char, which is \e not the same as
    QVariant::Char.
 
    Also note that the types \c void*, \c long, \c short, \c unsigned
    \c long, \c unsigned \c short, \c unsigned \c char, \c float, \c
    QObject*, and \c QWidget* are represented in QMetaType::Type but
    not in QVariant::Type, and they can be returned by this function.
    However, they are considered to be user defined types when tested
    against QVariant::Type.
 
    To test whether an instance of QVariant contains a data type that
    is compatible with the data type you are interested in, use

    Creates a variant of type \a type, and initializes it with
