The QVariant class is a cornerstone in Qt. It's used in the property system in model/view to exchange data between C++ and QML. But what is a QVariant, exactly?

It's a type-erased container, akin to std::any from the C++ Standard Library; a QVariant is able to store an object of any type (well, almost any type) and it also remembers which type it's stored inside. Let's see how QVariant works in practice in this video.

The video is presented by Jesper Pedersen, who started with Qt back when Qt was widgets only and the version was 1.44, which gives him 21 years of experience with Qt. Since 2000 he has taught almost 100 Qt classes, ranging from Qt Widgets to QML. Heck, Jesper even taught a few classes on QTopia Core — Trolltech's initial attempt at creating a phone stack. Today Jesper holds a fancy business title, but that doesn't prevent him from coding both in his job and in his spare time.
