This is +useful to delay instantiation of objects until necessary, thereby improving +application startup time. It also allows visual objects to be dynamically +created and added to the scene in reaction to user input or other events. This +functionality can be used in two main ways. + +Object can be created dynamically from JavaScript in an imperative way using +\l{qtqml-javascript-dynamicobjectcreation.html}{dynamic creation of objects}. +This can be useful, for example, when QML is used as an application scripting +language. + +\note When creating user interfaces, the preferred way of creating objects +dynamically is to use declarative constructs as these integrate best with the +QML engine and tooling.
