## Class QName

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.xerces.xni.QName

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable

      public class QName
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements java.lang.Cloneable

  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`.
