\title Id quotation
\brief [syntax.id-quotation] Id has quotation marks.
 
\qmllintwarningcategory syntax.id-quotation
 
\section1 Ids do not need quotation marks
 
\section2 What happened?
You surrounded an \l{qtqml-syntax-objectattributes.html#the-id-attribute}{id}
with quotation marks.
 
\section2 Why is this bad?
This might lead to confusion between ids and strings.
The QML language does not require quotation marks for ids and
forbids more complex string expressions for ids.
 
\section2 Example
\qml
import QtQuick
 
Item {
    id: "root"
}
 
\endqml
To fix this warning, remove the quotation marks:
\qml
import QtQuick
 
Item {
    id: root
}
\endqml
