• Here are some key features and concepts related to QVariant: 1. Dynamic Typing: QVariant allows you to store values of different types in the same variable.
  • The QVariant class acts like a union for the most common Qt data types. ... #include <qvariant.h>. List of all member functions.
  • The QVariant class acts like a union for the most common Qt data types. ... QVariant(QMetaType type, const void *copy = nullptr).
  • Need to document parameter types and convert the QVariant to the exact type before using. Possibly need to check for the actual type stored in QVariant.
  • QVariant is used to store references to values where you don't necessarily know what is inside. It's a way to create APIs that can accept "anything" as a reference...
  • In C++, a variable needs to have its type known at compile time. There are situations that however require us to deal with variables whose type is known only at run time.
  • QVariant can storeArbitrarytype of data. If you want to makeCustom typeOr other non-QMettype built-in types are used in qvariant, you must use this...
  • The QVariant class can also hold containers: QMap, QVariant>, QStringList, and QValueList. ... QMap, QVariant> is ideal for such situations
  • Without QVariant, this would be a problem for QObject.property() and for database work, etc. A QVariant object holds a single value of a single type() at a time.
