QOF is a C Language utility that offers a range of tools to enable complex structured queries to be performed in a generic way.
QOF, or Query Object Framework, is a set of C Language utilities designed to execute structured queries on a set of data held by C/C++ objects. This framework is unique because it does not require SQL or any database at all to perform queries, meaning programmers can add query support to their applications without hooking into an SQL Database.
Normally, to show reports in an app, you would need to perform queries to get the data you need. You could write custom subroutines, but this programming style is not extensible and can lead to issues with users requesting slightly different reports.
QOF provides a generic framework to execute queries, including those designed by the end-user, without relying on a database that supports SQL. QOF provides a simpler, more natural way to work with objects.
This release of QOF includes new features such as KVP_TYPE_BOOLEAN support, extensible error handling, and new Brazilian Portuguese and Indonesian translations. It also fixes various issues, such as doxygen support and sqlite errors resulting in temporary files. Additionally, the release improves speed in the sqlite backend, packages the .pot file directly, and removes AM_MAINTAINER_MODE.
QofError provides user-friendly error messages that are detailed, relevant, and helpful. It supports setting errors and error messages on-the-fly to provide the best possible user experience. Overall, Query Object Framework is a useful addition for programmers looking to add query support to their applications without relying on SQL or a database.
