Detailed Description¶

QByteArray can be used to store both raw bytes (including ‘\0’s) and traditional 8-bit ‘\0’-terminated strings. Using QByteArray is much more convenient than using const char * . Behind the scenes, it always ensures that the data is followed by a ‘\0’ terminator, and uses implicit sharing (copy-on-write) to reduce memory usage and avoid needless copying of data.

In addition to QByteArray , Qt also provides the QString class to store string data. For most purposes, QString is the class you want to use. It stores 16-bit Unicode characters, making it easy to store non-ASCII/non-Latin-1 characters in your application. Furthermore, QString is used throughout in the Qt API. The two main cases where QByteArray is appropriate are when you need to store raw binary data, and when memory conservation is critical (e.g., with Qt for Embedded Linux).

One way to initialize a QByteArray is simply to pass a const char * to its constructor. For example, the following code creates a byte array of size 5 containing the data “Hello”:
ba = QByteArray("Hello")
Although the size() is 5, the byte array also maintains an extra ‘\0’ character at the end so that if a function is used that asks for a pointer to the underlying data (e.g. a call to data() ), the data pointed to is guaranteed to be ‘\0’-terminated.

QByteArray makes a deep copy of the const char * data, so you can modify it later without experiencing side effects. (If for performance reasons you don’t want to take a deep copy of the character data, use fromRawData() instead.)

Another approach is to set the size of the array using resize() and to initialize the data byte per byte. QByteArray uses 0-based indexes, just like C++ arrays. To access the byte at a particular index position, you can use operator[](). On non-const byte arrays, operator[]() returns a reference to a byte that can be used on the left side of an assignment. For example:
ba = QByteArray()
ba.resize(5)
ba[0] = 'H'
ba[1] = 'e'
ba[2] = 'l'
ba[3] = 'l'
ba[4] = 'o'
For read-only access, an alternative syntax is to use at() :
for i in range(0, ba.size()):
 if ba.at(i) >= 'a' and ba.at(i) <= 'f':
 print "Found character in range [a-f]"
at() can be faster than operator[](), because it never causes a deep copy to occur.

To extract many bytes at a time, use left() , right() , or mid() .

A QByteArray can embed ‘\0’ bytes. The size() function always returns the size of the whole array, including embedded ‘\0’ bytes, but excluding the terminating ‘\0’ added by QByteArray . For example:
QByteArray ba1("ca\0r\0t");
ba1.size(); // Returns 2.
ba1.constData(); // Returns "ca" with terminating \0.

QByteArray ba2("ca\0r\0t", 3);
ba2.size(); // Returns 3.
ba2.constData(); // Returns "ca\0" with terminating \0.

QByteArray ba3("ca\0r\0t", 4);
ba3.size(); // Returns 4.
ba3.constData(); // Returns "ca\0r" with terminating \0.

const char cart[] = {'c', 'a', '\0', 'r', '\0', 't'};
QByteArray ba4(QByteArray::fromRawData(cart, 6));
ba4.size(); // Returns 6.
ba4.constData(); // Returns "ca\0r\0t" without terminating \0.
If you want to obtain the length of the data up to and excluding the first ‘\0’ character, call qstrlen() on the byte array.

After a call to resize() , newly allocated bytes have undefined values. To set all the bytes to a particular value, call fill() .

To obtain a pointer to the actual character data, call data() or constData() . These functions return a pointer to the beginning of the data. The pointer is guaranteed to remain valid until a non-const function is called on the QByteArray . It is also guaranteed that the data ends with a ‘\0’ byte unless the QByteArray was created from a raw data . This ‘\0’ byte is automatically provided by QByteArray and is not counted in size() .

QByteArray provides the following basic functions for modifying the byte data: append() , prepend() , insert() , replace() , and remove() . For example:
x = QByteArray("and")
x.prepend("rock ") # x == "rock and"
x.append(" roll") # x == "rock and roll"
x.replace(5, 3, "&") # x == "rock & roll"
The replace() and remove() functions’ first two arguments are the position from which to start erasing and the number of bytes that should be erased.

When you append() data to a non-empty array, the array will be reallocated and the new data copied to it. You can avoid this behavior by calling reserve() , which preallocates a certain amount of memory. You can also call capacity() to find out how much memory QByteArray actually allocated. Data appended to an empty array is not copied.

A frequent requirement is to remove whitespace characters from a byte array (’\n’, ‘\t’, ‘ ‘, etc.). If you want to remove whitespace from both ends of a QByteArray , use trimmed() . If you want to remove whitespace from both ends and replace multiple consecutive whitespaces with a single space character within the byte array, use simplified() .

If you want to find all occurrences of a particular character or substring in a QByteArray , use indexOf() or lastIndexOf() . The former searches forward starting from a given index position, the latter searches backward. Both return the index position of the character or substring if they find it; otherwise, they return -1. For example, here’s a typical loop that finds all occurrences of a particular substring:
ba = QByteArray("We must be bold, very bold")
j = 0
while (j = ba.indexOf("", j)) != -1:
 print "Found tag at index position %d" % j
 ++j
If you simply want to check whether a QByteArray contains a particular character or substring, use contains() . If you want to find out how many times a particular character or substring occurs in the byte array, use count() . If you want to replace all occurrences of a particular value with another, use one of the two-parameter replace() overloads.

QByteArray s can be compared using overloaded operators such as operator<(), operator<=(), operator==(), operator>=(), and so on. The comparison is based exclusively on the numeric values of the characters and is very fast, but is not what a human would expect. localeAwareCompare() is a better choice for sorting user-interface strings.

For historical reasons, QByteArray distinguishes between a null byte array and an empty byte array. A null byte array is a byte array that is initialized using QByteArray ‘s default constructor or by passing (const char *)0 to the constructor. An empty byte array is any byte array with size 0. A null byte array is always empty, but an empty byte array isn’t necessarily null:
QByteArray().isNull() # returns true
QByteArray().isEmpty() # returns true

QByteArray("").isNull() # returns false
QByteArray("").isEmpty() # returns true

QByteArray("abc").isNull() # returns false
QByteArray("abc").isEmpty() # returns false
All functions except isNull() treat null byte arrays the same as empty byte arrays. For example, data() returns a valid pointer (not nullptr) to a ‘\0’ character for a byte array and QByteArray() compares equal to QByteArray (“”). We recommend that you always use isEmpty() and avoid isNull() .

Maximum size and out-of-memory conditions¶

The current version of QByteArray is limited to just under 2 GB (2^31 bytes) in size. The exact value is architecture-dependent, since it depends on the overhead required for managing the data block, but is no more than 32 bytes. Raw data blocks are also limited by the use of int type in the current version to 2 GB minus 1 byte.

In case memory allocation fails, QByteArray will throw a std::bad_alloc exception. Out of memory conditions in the Qt containers are the only case where Qt will throw exceptions.

Note that the operating system may impose further limits on applications holding a lot of allocated memory, especially large, contiguous blocks. Such considerations, the configuration of such behavior or any mitigation are outside the scope of the QByteArray API.

Notes on Locale¶

Number-String Conversions¶

Functions that perform conversions between numeric data types and strings are performed in the C locale, irrespective of the user’s locale settings. Use QString to perform locale-aware conversions between numbers and strings.

8-bit Character Comparisons¶

In QByteArray , the notion of uppercase and lowercase and of which character is greater than or less than another character is done in the Latin-1 locale. This affects functions that support a case insensitive option or that compare or lowercase or uppercase their arguments. Case insensitive operations and comparisons will be accurate if both strings contain only Latin-1 characters. Functions that this affects include contains() , indexOf() , lastIndexOf() , operator<(), operator<=(), operator>(), operator>=(), isLower() , isUpper() , toLower() and toUpper() .

This issue does not apply to QString s since they represent characters using Unicode.

PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.Base64Option¶

This enum contains the options available for encoding and decoding Base64. Base64 is defined by RFC 4648 , with the following options:

Constant	Description
QByteArray.Base64Encoding	(default) The regular Base64 alphabet, called simply “base64”
QByteArray.Base64UrlEncoding	An alternate alphabet, called “base64url”, which replaces two characters in the alphabet to be more friendly to URLs.
QByteArray.KeepTrailingEquals	(default) Keeps the trailing padding equal signs at the end of the encoded data, so the data is always a size multiple of four.
QByteArray.OmitTrailingEquals	Omits adding the padding equal signs at the end of the encoded data.
QByteArray.IgnoreBase64DecodingErrors	When decoding Base64-encoded data, ignores errors in the input; invalid characters are simply skipped. This enum value has been added in Qt 5.15.
QByteArray.AbortOnBase64DecodingErrors	When decoding Base64-encoded data, stops at the first decoding error. This enum value has been added in Qt 5.15.

fromBase64Encoding() and fromBase64() ignore the and options. If the option is specified, they will not flag errors in case trailing equal signs are missing or if there are too many of them. If instead the is specified, then the input must either have no padding or have the correct amount of equal signs.

static PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.fromBase64(base64)¶

Parameters:: base64 – PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray
Return type:: PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a decoded copy of the Base64 array base64 . Input is not checked for validity; invalid characters in the input are skipped, enabling the decoding process to continue with subsequent characters.

For example:

text = QByteArray.fromBase64("UXQgaXMgZ3JlYXQh")
text.data()            # returns "Qt is great!"

The algorithm used to decode Base64-encoded data is defined in RFC 4648 .

Note

See also

toBase64() fromBase64Encoding()

static PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.fromBase64(base64, options)

Parameters:

base64 – PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray
options – Base64Options

Return type:

PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a decoded copy of the Base64 array base64 , using the options defined by options . If options contains IgnoreBase64DecodingErrors (the default), the input is not checked for validity; invalid characters in the input are skipped, enabling the decoding process to continue with subsequent characters. If options contains AbortOnBase64DecodingErrors , then decoding will stop at the first invalid character.

For example:

QByteArray::fromBase64("PHA+SGVsbG8/PC9wPg==", QByteArray::Base64Encoding); // returns "<p>Hello?</p>"
QByteArray::fromBase64("PHA-SGVsbG8_PC9wPg==", QByteArray::Base64UrlEncoding); // returns "<p>Hello?</p>"

The algorithm used to decode Base64-encoded data is defined in RFC 4648 .

Returns the decoded data, or, if the AbortOnBase64DecodingErrors option was passed and the input data was invalid, an empty byte array.

Note

The fromBase64Encoding() function is recommended in new code.

See also

toBase64() fromBase64Encoding()

static PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.fromBase64Encoding(base64[, options=QByteArray.Base64Encoding])¶

Parameters:

options – Base64Options

Return type:

PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.FromBase64Result

static PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.fromHex(hexEncoded)¶

Parameters:: hexEncoded – PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray
Return type:: PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray

Returns a decoded copy of the hex encoded array hexEncoded . Input is not checked for validity; invalid characters in the input are skipped, enabling the decoding process to continue with subsequent characters.

For example:

text = QByteArray.fromHex("517420697320677265617421")
text.data()            # returns "Qt is great!"

See also

toHex()

static PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.fromPercentEncoding(pctEncoded[, percent='%'])¶

Parameters:

pctEncoded – PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray
percent – char

Return type:

PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray

Returns a decoded copy of the URI/URL-style percent-encoded input . The percent parameter allows you to replace the ‘%’ character for another (for instance, ‘_’ or ‘=’).

For example:

QByteArray text = QByteArray::fromPercentEncoding("Qt%20is%20great%33");
text.data();            // returns "Qt is great!"

Note

Given invalid input (such as a string containing the sequence “%G5”, which is not a valid hexadecimal number) the output will be invalid as well. As an example: the sequence “%G5” could be decoded to ‘W’.

static PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.fromRawData(arg__1)¶

Parameters:: arg__1 – str
Return type:: PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray

Constructs a QByteArray that uses the first size bytes of the data array. The bytes are not copied. The QByteArray will contain the data pointer. The caller guarantees that data will not be deleted or modified as long as this QByteArray and any copies of it exist that have not been modified. In other words, because QByteArray is an implicitly shared class and the instance returned by this function contains the data pointer, the caller must not delete data or modify it directly as long as the returned QByteArray and any copies exist. However, QByteArray does not take ownership of data , so the QByteArray destructor will never delete the raw data , even when the last QByteArray referring to data is destroyed.

A subsequent attempt to modify the contents of the returned QByteArray or any copy made from it will cause it to create a deep copy of the data array before doing the modification. This ensures that the raw data array itself will never be modified by QByteArray .

Here is an example of how to read data using a QDataStream on raw data in memory without copying the raw data into a QByteArray :

mydata = '\x00\x00\x03\x84\x78\x9c\x3b\x76'\
         '\xec\x18\xc3\x31\x0a\xf1\xcc\x99'\
         ...
         '\x6d\x5b'

data = QByteArray.fromRawData(mydata)
in_ = QDataStream(data, QIODevice.ReadOnly)
...

Warning

A byte array created with is not ‘\0’-terminated, unless the raw data contains a 0 character at position size . While that does not matter for QDataStream or functions like indexOf() , passing the byte array to a function accepting a const char * expected to be ‘\0’-terminated will fail.

See also

setRawData() data() constData()

PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.front()¶

Return type:: char

Returns the first character in the byte array. Same as at(0) .

This function is provided for STL compatibility.

Warning

Calling this function on an empty byte array constitutes undefined behavior.

Parameters:

i – int
count – int
c – char

Return type:

PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray

Inserts count copies of character ch at index position i in the byte array.

If i is greater than size() , the array is first extended using resize() .

PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.isEmpty()¶

Return type:: bool

Returns true if the byte array has size 0; otherwise returns false .

Example:

QByteArray().isEmpty()         # returns true
QByteArray("").isEmpty()       # returns true

See also

size()

PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.isLower()¶

Return type:: bool

Returns true if this byte array contains only lowercase letters, otherwise returns false . The byte array is interpreted as a Latin-1 encoded string.

See also

isUpper() toLower()

Example:

QByteArray().isNull()          # returns true
QByteArray("").isNull()        # returns false
QByteArray("abc").isNull()     # returns false

Qt makes a distinction between null byte arrays and empty byte arrays for historical reasons. For most applications, what matters is whether or not a byte array contains any data, and this can be determined using isEmpty() .

Example:

x = QByteArray("apple")
y = x.leftJustified(8, '.')   # y == "apple..."

Parameters:

a – str
n – uint

Return type:

PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray

Whitespace means any character for which the standard C++ isspace() function returns true in the C locale. This includes the ASCII isspace() function returns true in the C locale. This includes the ASCII characters ‘\t’, ‘\n’, ‘\v’, ‘\f’, ‘\r’, and ‘ ‘.

Example:

ba = QByteArray("  lots\t of\nwhitespace\r\n ")
ba = ba.simplified()
# ba == "lots of whitespace";

See also

trimmed()

PySide2.QtCore.QByteArray.size()¶

Return type:: int

Returns the number of bytes in this byte array.

The last byte in the byte array is at position - 1. In addition, QByteArray ensures that the byte at position is always ‘\0’, so that you can use the return value of data() and constData() as arguments to functions that expect ‘\0’-terminated strings. If the QByteArray object was created from a raw data that didn’t include the trailing null-termination character then QByteArray doesn’t add it automatically unless the deep copy is created.

Example:

ba = QByteArray("Hello")
n = ba.size()          # n == 5
ba.data()[0]           # returns 'H'
ba.data()[4]           # returns 'o'
