qt序列化自定义对象_用Qt序列化

I am programming a GUI with Qt library. In my GUI I have a huge std::map.

"MyType" is a class that has different kinds of fields.

I want to serialize the std::map. How can I do that? Does Qt provides us with neccesary features?

QDataStream handles a variety of C++ and Qt data types. The complete list is available at http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/datastreamformat.html. We can also add support for our own custom types by overloading the << and >> operators. Here's the definition of a custom data type that can be used with QDataStream:

class Painting

{

public:

Painting() { myYear = 0; }

Painting(const QString &title, const QString &artist, int year) {

myTitle = title;

myArtist = artist;

myYear = year;

}

void setTitle(const QString &title) { myTitle = title; }

QString title() const { return myTitle; }

...

private:

QString myTitle;

QString myArtist;

int myYear;

};

QDataStream &operator<

QDataStream &operator>>(QDataStream &in, Painting &painting);

Here's how we would implement the << operator:

QDataStream &operator<

{

out << painting.title() << painting.artist()

<< quint32(painting.year());

return out;

}

To output a Painting, we simply output two QStrings and a quint32. At the end of the function, we return the stream. This is a common C++ idiom that allows us to use a chain of << operators with an output stream. For example:

out << painting1 << painting2 << painting3;

The implementation of operator>>() is similar to that of operator<

QDataStream &operator>>(QDataStream &in, Painting &painting)

{

QString title;

QString artist;

quint32 year;

in >> title >> artist >> year;

painting = Painting(title, artist, year);

return in;

}
