Represents an XML qualified name.
Warning: This is a facade provided for use by user code, not for implementation. User implementations of this interface are highly likely to be incompatible with future releases of the product at both binary and source levels.
A qualified name consists of a prefix and a local name. The prefix is used as a short hand for a namespace URI.
Note, a null prefix is represented as an empty string, not a Java null.
It is common for QNames to be used as keys into HashMaps so instances of this object must implement equals and hashCode. Some helper methods are provided in the {@link NamespaceFactory} class.
