Detailed Description

\inmodule QtCore

Since
5.0

The QUrlQuery class provides a way to manipulate a key-value pairs in a URL's query.

\reentrant

\compares equality

It is used to parse the query strings found in URLs like the following:

{Illustration of a URL with part after question mark highlighted as query string.}

Query strings like the above are used to transmit options in the URL and are usually decoded into multiple key-value pairs. The one above would contain two entries in its list, with keys "type" and "color". QUrlQuery can also be used to create a query string suitable for use in QUrl::setQuery() from the individual components of the query.

The most common way of parsing a query string is to initialize it in the constructor by passing it the query string. Otherwise, the setQuery() method can be used to set the query to be parsed. That method can also be used to parse a query with non-standard delimiters, after having set them using the setQueryDelimiters() function.

The encoded query string can be obtained again using query(). This will take all the internally-stored items and encode the string using the delimiters.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addQueryItem()

void QUrlQuery::addQueryItem ( const QString & key,
const QString & value )

Appends the pair key = value to the end of the query string of the URL.

This method does not overwrite existing items that might exist with the same key.

Note
This method does not treat spaces (ASCII 0x20) and plus ("+") signs as the same, like HTML forms do. If you need spaces to be represented as plus signs, use actual plus signs.
The key and value strings are expected to be in percent-encoded form.

hasQueryItem(), queryItemValue()

Definition at line 682 of file qurlquery.cpp.

◆ allQueryItemValues()

QStringList QUrlQuery::allQueryItemValues ( const QString & key,
QUrl::ComponentFormattingOptions encoding = QUrl::PrettyDecoded ) const

Returns the a list of query string values whose key is equal to key from the URL, using the options specified in encoding to encode the return value.

If the key key is not found, this function returns an empty list.

Note
The key is expected to be in percent-encoded form.

◆ operator=()

QUrlQuery & QUrlQuery::operator= ( const QUrlQuery & other)

Move-assigns other to this QUrlQuery instance.

Copies the contents of the other QUrlQuery object, including the query delimiters.

Since
5.2

Definition at line 384 of file qurlquery.cpp.

◆ query()

QString QUrlQuery::query ( QUrl::ComponentFormattingOptions encoding = QUrl::PrettyDecoded) const

Returns the reconstructed query string, formed from the key-value pairs currently stored in this QUrlQuery object and separated by the query delimiters chosen for this object.

The keys and values are encoded using the options given by the encoding parameter.

For this function, the only ambiguous delimiter is the hash ("#"), as in URLs it is used to separate the query string from the fragment that may follow.

The order of the key-value pairs in the returned string is exactly the same as in the original query.

setQuery(), QUrl::setQuery(), QUrl::fragment(), {encoding}{Encoding}

Definition at line 504 of file qurlquery.cpp.

◆ queryItems()

QList< std::pair< QString, QString > > QUrlQuery::queryItems ( QUrl::ComponentFormattingOptions encoding = QUrl::PrettyDecoded) const

Returns the query string of the URL, as a map of keys and values, using the options specified in encoding to encode the items.

The order of the elements is the same as the one found in the query string or set with setQueryItems().

See also
setQueryItems(), {encoding}{Encoding}

Definition at line 637 of file qurlquery.cpp.

◆ queryItemValue()

QString QUrlQuery::queryItemValue ( const QString & key,
QUrl::ComponentFormattingOptions encoding = QUrl::PrettyDecoded ) const

Returns the query value associated with key key from the URL, using the options specified in encoding to encode the return value.

If the key key is not found, this function returns an empty string. If you need to distinguish between an empty value and a non-existent key, you should check for the key's presence first using hasQueryItem().

If the key key is multiply defined, this function will return the first one found, in the order they were present in the query string or added using addQueryItem().

Note
The key is expected to be in percent-encoded form.

addQueryItem(), allQueryItemValues(), {encoding}{Encoding}

Definition at line 702 of file qurlquery.cpp.

◆ queryPairDelimiter()

QChar QUrlQuery::queryPairDelimiter ( ) const

See also
setQueryDelimiters(), queryValueDelimiter()

Definition at line 599 of file qurlquery.cpp.

◆ queryValueDelimiter()

QChar QUrlQuery::queryValueDelimiter ( ) const

Returns the character used to delimit between keys and values when reconstructing the query string in query() or when parsing in setQuery().

Definition at line 588 of file qurlquery.cpp.

◆ removeAllQueryItems()

void QUrlQuery::removeAllQueryItems ( const QString & key)

Note
The key is expected to be in percent-encoded form.
See also
removeQueryItem()

Definition at line 764 of file qurlquery.cpp.

◆ removeQueryItem()

void QUrlQuery::removeQueryItem ( const QString & key)

Removes the query string pair whose key is equal to key from the URL.

If there are multiple items with a key equal to key, it removes the first item in the order they were present in the query string or added with addQueryItem().

Note
The key is expected to be in percent-encoded form.
See also
removeAllQueryItems()

Definition at line 746 of file qurlquery.cpp.

◆ setQuery()

void QUrlQuery::setQuery ( const QString & queryString)

Parses the query string in queryString and sets the internal items to the values found there.

If any delimiters have been specified with setQueryDelimiters(), this function will use them instead of the default delimiters to parse the string.

Definition at line 477 of file qurlquery.cpp.

◆ setQueryDelimiters()

void QUrlQuery::setQueryDelimiters ( QChar valueDelimiter,
QChar pairDelimiter )

Sets the characters used for delimiting between keys and values, and between key-value pairs in the URL's query string.

The default value delimiter is '=' and the default pair delimiter is '&'.

{Illustration of a URL with part after question mark highlighted as query string.}

valueDelimiter will be used for separating keys from values, and pairDelimiter will be used to separate key-value pairs. Any occurrences of these delimiting characters in the encoded representation of the keys and values of the query string are percent encoded when returned in query().

If valueDelimiter is set to ',' and pairDelimiter is ';', the above query string would instead be represented like this:

http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/drawgraph.cgi?type,pie;color,green
Note
Non-standard delimiters should be chosen from among what RFC 3986 calls "sub-delimiters". They are:
sub-delims = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")"
/ "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "="

Use of other characters is not supported and may result in unexpected behavior. This method does not verify that you passed a valid delimiter.

See also
queryValueDelimiter(), queryPairDelimiter()

Definition at line 576 of file qurlquery.cpp.

◆ setQueryItems()

void QUrlQuery::setQueryItems ( const QList< std::pair< QString, QString > > & query)

Sets the items in this QUrlQuery object to query.

The order of the elements in query is preserved.

Note
This method does not treat spaces (ASCII 0x20) and plus ("+") signs as the same, like HTML forms do. If you need spaces to be represented as plus signs, use actual plus signs.
The keys and values are expected to be in percent-encoded form.
