\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 the QML language (which is
defined and implemented by the \l{qtqml-main.html}{Qt QML module}).
The Qt Quick module provides a visual canvas, visual item types, an animation
framework, and types which make dynamic instantiation of objects more
convenient.  It also provides the QQuickView C++ class to enable displaying
a user-interface written in Qt Quick.

In summary, Qt Quick provides a library of visual types to allow building a
user-interface, and the C++ API to instantiate and interact with it.

\section1 Important Concepts in Qt Quick

Qt Quick provides everything needed to create a rich application with a fluid
and dynamic user interface.  It is based around behavior declaration rather
than imperative programming, and defines a visual canvas with its own
coordinate system and drawing implementation.  There are many ways to position
user-interface elements on the screen, and animation and transition effects are
a first-class concept in Qt Quick.

When using the 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}.

\section1 Reference Documentation

More information about the Qt Quick module is contained within the class and
function documentation of the \l{qtquick-apireference.html}
{Qt Quick Singleton Type Reference}.  The QML types provided by the Qt Quick module
are listed in the \l{qtquick-qmltypereference.html}
{Qt Quick Module QML Type Reference} page.

Application developers who are interested in writing applications using QML
should start by reading the \l{qtquick-applicationdevelopers.html}
{QML Application Developer Resources}.  The documentation for the
\l{qtqml-main.html}{Qt QML} module is also an indispensible resource for
application developers who are using Qt Quick, as it provides the definition
and implementation of the QML language (for which Qt Quick is the standard
library of types and functionality).
