QName represents a qualified name as defined in the XML specifications: , , .

The value of a QName contains a Namespace URI, local part and prefix.

The prefix is included in QName to retain lexical information when present in an Javax.Xml.Transform.ISource. The prefix is NOT used in QName.Equals(Java.Lang.Object) or to compute the QName.GetHashCode. Equality and the hash code are defined using only the Namespace URI and local part.

If not specified, the Namespace URI is set to Javax.Xml.XMLConstants.NullNsUri. If not specified, the prefix is set to Javax.Xml.XMLConstants.DefaultNsPrefix.

QName is immutable.
