It acts as an interface type to all kinds of UTF-16 string, without the need to construct a QString first. The UTF-16 string may be represented as an array (or an array-compatible data-structure such as QString, std::basic_string, etc.) of QChar, \c ushort, \c char16_t or (on platforms, such as Windows, where it is a 16-bit type) \c wchar_t. QStringView is designed as an interface type; its main use-case is as a function parameter type. When QStringViews are used as automatic variables or data members, care must be taken to ensure that the referenced string data (for example, owned by a QString) outlives the QStringView on all code paths, lest the string view ends up referencing deleted data. When used as an interface type, QStringView allows a single function to accept a wide variety of UTF-16 string data sources. One function accepting QStringView thus replaces three function overloads (taking QString and \c{(const QChar*, qsizetype)}), while at the same time enabling even more string data sources to be passed to the function, such as \c{u"Hello World"}, a \c char16_t string literal. QStringViews should be passed by value, not by reference-to-const: \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qstringview.cpp 0 If you want to give your users maximum freedom in what strings they can pass to your function, accompany the QStringView overload with overloads for \list \li \e QChar: this overload can delegate to the QStringView version: \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qstringview.cpp 1 even though, for technical reasons, QStringView cannot provide a QChar constructor by itself. \li \e QString: if you store an unmodified copy of the string and thus would like to take advantage of QString's implicit sharing. \li QLatin1StringView: if you can implement the function without converting the QLatin1StringView to UTF-16 first; users expect a function overloaded on QLatin1StringView to perform strictly less memory allocations than the semantically equivalent call of the QStringView version, involving construction of a QString from the QLatin1StringView. \endlist QStringView can also be used as the return value of a function. If you call a function returning QStringView, take extra care to not keep the QStringView around longer than the function promises to keep the referenced string data alive. If in doubt, obtain a strong reference to the data by calling toString() to convert the QStringView into a QString. QStringView is a \e{Literal Type}, but since it stores data as \c{char16_t}, iteration is not \c constexpr (casts from \c{const char16_t*} to \c{const QChar*}, which is not allowed in \c constexpr functions). You can use an indexed loop and/or utf16() in \c constexpr contexts instead. \sa QString */ /*! \typedef QStringView::storage_type Alias for \c{char16_t}. */ /*! \typedef QStringView::value_type Alias for \c{const QChar}.
