Qt Quick
Encyclopedia
Qt Quick is a framework that provides a declarative way of building custom, highly dynamic user interfaces with fluid transitions and effects, which are becoming more and more common especially in mobile devices.
Qt Declarative is a runtime interpreter that reads the Qt declarative user interface definition, QML
data, and displays the UI that it describes. The QML
syntax allows using JavaScript
to provide the logic, and it is often used for this purpose. It is not the only way, however: logic can be written with native code as well.
Qt Quick and QML
are officially supported in Qt 4.7 (with Qt Creator
2.1), and it is commercial option in mobile applications when Qt 4.7 is available for deployment in Symbian and Maemo
/MeeGo
devices.
