# QName Class

The QName class represents an instance of xs:QName, as defined in the XPath 2.0 data model. Internally, it has three components, a namespace URI, a local name, and a prefix. The prefix is intended to be used only when converting the value back to a string.

For a list of all members of this type, see QName Members.
