\title Qt Quick Module
\brief The Qt Quick module implements the "standard library" for QML

\section1 Overview of the Qt Quick Module

The Qt Quick module is the standard library for writing QML applications.
While the \l{qtqml-main.html}{Qt QML module} provides the QML engine and
language infrastructure, the Qt Quick module provides all the basic
elements necessary for creating user interfaces with QML. It
provides a visual canvas and includes types for creating and animating
visual components, receiving user input, creating data models and views
and delayed object instantiation.

The Qt Quick module provides both the \c QtQuick QML module, which supplies
\l{qtquick-qmltypereference.html}{a set of QML types} for creating user
interfaces with the QML language, and the QtQuick C++ module, which supplies
\l{QtQuick}{a set of C++ APIs} for integrating with user interfaces and
applications built with QML and the \c QtQuick QML module.

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.


\section1 Important Concepts in Qt Quick

Qt Quick provides everything needed to create a rich application with a fluid
and dynamic user interface. It enables user interfaces to be built around the
behavior of user interface components and how they connect with one another,
and it provides a visual canvas with its own coordinate system and rendering
engine. Animation and transition effects are a first class concept in Qt Quick,
and visual effects can be supplemented through specialised components for
particle and shader effects.

\li \l{qtquick-input-topic.html}{User Input}
\li \l{qtquick-positioning-topic.html}{Positioning}
\li \l{qtquick-statesanimations-topic.html}{States, Transitions And Animations}
\li \l{qtquick-modelviewsdata-topic.html}{Data - Models, Views and Data Storage}
\li \l{qtquick-effects-topic.html}{Particles And Graphical Effects}
\li \l{qtquick-convenience-topic.html}{Convenience Types}
\endlist

When using the \c QtQuick module, you will need to know how to write QML
applications using the QML language. In particular, you should have a grasp
of the \l{qtquick-quickstart-basics.html}{QML Basics} and
\l{qtquick-quickstart-essentials.html}{QML Essentials} from the
\l{qtquick-applicationdevelopers.html}{QML Application Developer Resources}.

To find out more about using the QML language, see the \l{Qt QML Module Documentation}.
