<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <class name="StringName" version="4.0"> <brief_description> An optimized string type for unique names. </brief_description> <description> [StringName]s are immutable strings designed for general-purpose representation of unique names. [StringName] ensures that only one instance of a given name exists (so two [StringName]s with the same value are the same object). Comparing them is much faster than with regular [String]s, because only the pointers are compared, not the whole strings. </description> <tutorials> </tutorials> <methods> <method name="StringName" qualifiers="constructor"> <return type="StringName"> </return> <description> Constructs an empty [StringName]. </description> </method> <method name="StringName" qualifiers="constructor"> <return type="StringName"> </return> <argument index="0" name="from" type="StringName"> </argument> <description> Constructs a [StringName] as a copy of the given [StringName]. </description> </method> <method name="StringName" qualifiers="constructor"> <return type="StringName"> </return> <argument index="0" name="from" type="String"> </argument> <description> Creates a new [StringName] from the given [String]. </description> </method> <method name="operator !=" qualifiers="operator"> <return type="bool"> </return> <argument index="0" name="right" type="String"> </argument> <description> </description> </method> <method name="operator !=" qualifiers="operator"> <return type="bool"> </return> <argument index="0" name="right" type="StringName"> </argument> <description> </description> </method> <method name="operator ==" qualifiers="operator"> <return type="bool"> </return> <argument index="0" name="right" type="String"> </argument> <description> </description> </method> <method name="operator ==" qualifiers="operator"> <return type="bool"> </return> <argument index="0" name="right" type="StringName"> </argument> <description> </description> </method> </methods> <constants> </constants> </class>
