Detailed Description

The TagValue class wraps values of different types.

It is meant to be assigned to a tag field.

For a list of supported types see TagParser::TagDataType.

When constructing a TagValue choose the type which suites the value you want to store best. If the tag format uses a different type the serializer will take care of the neccassary conversion (eg. convert an integer to a string).

When consuming a TagValue read from a tag one should not expect that a particular type is used. The type depends on what the particular tag format uses. However, the conversion functions provided by the TagValue class take care of neccassary conversions, eg. TagValue::toInteger() will attempt to convert a string to a number (an possibly throw a ConversionException on failure).

Values of the type TagDataType::Text can be differently encoded. See TagParser::TagTextEncoding for a list of supported encodings. Be sure to use an encoding which is supported by the tag implementation. To ensure that, the functions Tag::canEncodingBeUsed(), Tag::proposedTextEncoding() and Tag::ensureTextValuesAreProperlyEncoded() can be used.

Values of the type TagDataType::Text are not supposed to contain Byte-Order-Marks. Before assigning text which might be prepended by a Byte-Order-Mark the helper function TagValue::stripBom() can be used.

Returns whether both instances are equal.

Meta-data like description and MIME-type is taken into account as well.

  • other Specifies the other instance.
  • options Specifies options to alter the behavior. See TagValueComparisionFlags for details.
    Remarks
    • If the data types are not equal, two instances are still considered equal if the string representation is identical. For instance the text "2" is considered equal to the integer 2. This also means that an empty TagValue and the integer 0 are not considered equal.
    • The choice to allow implicit conversions was made because different tag formats use different types and usually one does not care about those internals when comparing values.
    • If any of the differently typed values can not be converted to a string (eg. it is binary data) the values are not considered equal. So the text "foo" and the binary value "foo" are not considered equal although the raw data is identical.
    • In fact, values of the types TagDataType::DateTime, TagDataType::TimeSpan, TagDataType::Picture, TagDataType::Binary and TagDataType::Unspecified will never be considered equal with a value of another type.
    • If the type is TagDataType::Text and the encoding differs values might still be considered equal if they represent the same characters. The same counts for the description.
    • This might be a costly operation due to possible conversions.

assignText()

Definition at line 753 of file tagvalue.h.

◆ dataPointer() [1/2]

inline

Returns a pointer to the raw data assigned to the current instance.

Remarks
The instance keeps ownership over the data which will be invalidated when the TagValue gets destroyed or another value is assigned.
The raw data is not null terminated. See dataSize().

Definition at line 568 of file tagvalue.h.

◆ dataPointer() [2/2]

const char * TagParser::TagValue::dataPointer ( ) const
inline

Definition at line 557 of file tagvalue.h.

◆ description()

const std::string & TagParser::TagValue::description ( ) const
inline

Returns the description.

Remarks
  • Whether this additional meta-data is available and can be used depends on the tag format. It will be ignored by the implementation of the tag format if not supported.
See also

Definition at line 596 of file tagvalue.h.

◆ descriptionEncoding()

TagTextEncoding TagParser::TagValue::descriptionEncoding ( ) const
inline

Returns the description encoding.

Remarks

static

Returns a default-constructed TagValue where TagValue::isNull() and TagValue::isEmpty() both return true.

Remarks

◆ ensureHostByteOrder()

void TagParser::TagValue::ensureHostByteOrder ( std::u16string &  u16str,
TagTextEncoding  currentEncoding 
)
static

Remarks
Does nothing if currentEncoding already matches the byte-order of the machine.

Definition at line 908 of file tagvalue.cpp.

◆ flags()

TagValueFlags TagParser::TagValue::flags ( ) const
inline

Returns the flags.

See also
TagValueFlags

Definition at line 688 of file tagvalue.h.

◆ isEmpty()

bool TagParser::TagValue::isEmpty ( ) const
inline

Returns whether no or an empty value is assigned.

Remarks
  • An empty string and empty binary or picture data counts as empty so this function will return true for those. However, the integer 0, a TimeSpan of zero length, ... are not considered empty and this function will return false.
  • Meta-data such as description and MIME-type is not considered as an assigned value.

Definition at line 525 of file tagvalue.h.

◆ isLabeledAsReadonly()

bool TagParser::TagValue::isLabeledAsReadonly ( ) const
inline

Returns an indication whether the value is labeled as read-only.

Remarks
  • Whether this additional meta-data is available and can be used depends on the tag format. It will be ignored by the implementation of the tag format if not supported.
  • This is just an additional information. It has no effect on the behavior of the TagValue thus assignments can still be performed (to prohibit assignments simply use the "const" keyword).
See also
setReadonly()

Definition at line 711 of file tagvalue.h.

◆ isNull()

bool TagParser::TagValue::isNull ( ) const
inline

Returns whether no value is assigned at all.

Remarks
  • Returns only true for default constructed instances or cleared instances (using TagValue::clearData()). So for empty strings, the integer 0, a TimeSpan of zero length, ... this function returns false.
  • Meta-data such as description and MIME-type is not considered as an assigned value.

Definition at line 512 of file tagvalue.h.

◆ locale() [1/2]

Locale & TagParser::TagValue::locale ( )
inline

Returns the locale.

Remarks
  • Whether this additional meta-data is available and can be used depends on the tag format. It will be ignored by the implementation of the tag format if not supported.
  • The format of the locale is specific to the tag format. The implementation of the tag format might store the value without further validation.

◆ locale() [2/2]

const Locale & TagParser::TagValue::locale ( ) const
inline

Returns the locale.

Remarks
  • Whether this additional meta-data is available and can be used depends on the tag format. It will be ignored by the implementation of the tag format if not supported.
  • The format of the locale is specific to the tag format. The implementation of the tag format might store the value without further validation.

Remarks
  • Whether this additional meta-data is available and can be used depends on the tag format. It will be ignored by the implementation of the tag format if not supported.
  • This is just an additional information. It has no effect on the behavior of the TagValue thus assignments can still be performed (to prohibit assignments simply use the "const" keyword).
