\title Qt QML
\brief The Qt QML module defines and implements the QML language

\section1 Overview of the Qt QML Module

The Qt QML module provides a framework for developing applications and
libraries with the QML language. It defines and implements the language
and engine infrastructure, and provides an API to enable application
developers to extend the QML language with custom types and integrate QML code
with JavaScript and C++.

The Qt QML module provides both the \c QtQml QML module, which supplies
\l{Qt QML Module - C++ Classes}{a set of core QML types} for creating QML
applications, and the \c QtQml C++ module, which supplies \l{Qt QML Module - C++ Classes}{a set of C++
APIs} for extending QML applications with custom types and integrating C++
implementations with QML applications.

Note that the Qt QML module provides only the language and infrastructure
for the QML, and does not provide a visual canvas or rendering engine for
creating user interfaces. These are provided instead by the
\l{Qt Quick} module, which provides many visual components,
model/view support, an animation framework and much more for building user
interfaces with QML.

For those new to QML and Qt Quick, please see
\l{qtquick-applicationdevelopers.html}{QML Application Developer Resources}
for an introduction to writing QML applications.
