It is also appropriate for highly custom desktop - user interfaces, or special elements in more traditional desktop - user interfaces. +Qt Declarative aids programmers and designers in building the animation rich, +highly fluid user interfaces that are becoming common in portable consumer +electronics devices, such as mobile phones, media players, set-top boxes and +netbooks. The Qt Declarative module provides an engine for interpreting the +declarative QML language, and a rich set of \l {QML Elements} that can be used +from QML. - Building fluid applications is done declaratively, rather than procedurally. - That is, you specify \e what the UI should look like and how it should behave - in an declarative format called QML, rather than specifying step-by-step \e how to - build it in a language like C++ or JavaScript. Specifying a UI declaratively - does not just include the layout of the interface items, but also the way each - individual item looks and behaves and the overall flow of the application. +QML is an extension to \l {http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm} +{ECMAScript}, that provides a mechanism to declaratively build an object tree +of \l {QML Elements}. QML improves the integration between ECMAScript and Qt's +existing QObject based type system, adds support for automatic +\l {Property Binding}s and provides \l {Network Transparency} at the language +level. - Getting Started: - \list - \o \l {Introduction to the QML language} - \o \l {tutorial}{Tutorial: 'Hello World'} - \o \l {tutorials-declarative-contacts.html}{Tutorial: 'Introduction to QML'} - \o \l {advtutorial.html}{Advanced Tutorial: 'Same Game'} - \o \l {qmlexamples}{Examples} - \endlist +The \l {QML Elements} are a sophisticated set of graphical and behavioral building +blocks. \l {QML Elements} are combined together in QML files to build components +ranging in complexity from simple pushbuttons and sliders, to complete +internet-enabled applications like a \l {http://www.flickr.com}{flickr} photo browser. - Core QML Features: - \list - \o \l {Anatomy of a QML Document} - \o \l {Property Binding} - \o \l {ECMAScript Blocks} - \o \l {Network Transparency} - \o \l {qmlmodels}{Data Models} - \o \l {anchor-layout}{Anchor-based Layout} - \o \l {qmlanimation}{Animation} - \o \l {qmlmodules}{Modules} - \o \l {qmlfocus}{Keyboard Focus} - \o \l {Extending types from QML} - \endlist +Qt Declarative builds on \l {QML for Qt programmers}{Qt's existing strengths}. +QML can be be used to incrementally extend an existing application or to build +completely new applications.
