\title Qt Quick
\page declarativeui.html

\brief Qt Quick provides a declarative framework for building highly
dynamic, custom user interfaces.

Qt Quick provides a declarative framework for building highly dynamic,
custom user interfaces from a rich set of \l {QML Elements}{QML elements}.
Qt Quick helps programmers and designers collaborate to
build the fluid user interfaces that are becoming common in portable
consumer devices, such as mobile phones, media players, set-top boxes
and netbooks.

QML is an extension to \l
{http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm}
{JavaScript}, that provides a mechanism to declaratively build an
object tree of \l {QML Elements}{QML elements}.  QML improves the
integration between JavaScript and Qt's existing QObject based type
system, adds support for automatic \l {Property Binding}{property
bindings} and provides \l {Network Transparency}{network transparency}
at the language level.

The \l {QML Elements}{QML elements} are a sophisticated set of
graphical and behavioral building blocks.  These different elements
are combined together in \l {QML Documents}{QML documents} to build
components ranging in complexity from simple buttons and sliders, to
complete internet-enabled applications like a \l
{http://www.flickr.com}{Flickr} photo browser.

Qt Quick 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.  QML is fully \l
{Extending QML in C++}{extensible from C++}.
