All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable

public class QName
extends java.lang.Object

A structure that holds the components of an XML Namespaces qualified name.

To be used correctly, the strings must be identical references for equal strings. Within the parser, these values are considered symbols and should always be retrieved from the SymbolTable.
