\ingroup qt-gui-concepts
\brief Qt Quick provides a declarative framework for building highly
dynamic, custom user interfaces.
\section1 Introduction
Qt Quick is a collection of technologies that are designed to help
developers create the kind of intuitive, modern-looking, fluid user
interfaces that are increasingly used on mobile phones, media players,
set-top boxes and other portable devices.
Qt Quick consists of a rich set of user interface elements, a declarative
language for describing user interfaces and a language runtime. A collection
of C++ APIs is used to integrate these high level features with classic
Qt applications.
\section2 QML, Elements and the Qt Declarative Module
User interfaces and their behavior are described using QML, an extension to
\l{About JavaScript}{JavaScript} that lets developers and designers
use a declarative syntax to specify each user interface in terms of
\l{QML Elements}{QML elements}. These elements are a sophisticated set of
graphical and behavioral building blocks that can be combined together in
\l{QML Documents}{QML documents} to build components ranging in complexity
from simple buttons and sliders, to complete Internet-enabled applications.
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 Qt Declarative module implements the interface between the QML language
and the elements available to it. It also provides a C++ API that can be
used to load and interact with QML files from within Qt applications.
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++} through the Qt Declarative
Module.
