\title All Modules
\brief A list of all modules in Qt 5.
\ingroup classlists
\brief Qt 5 consists of essential modules, add-on modules, and tools.
\section1 Qt Essentials
Qt essentials define the foundation of Qt on all platforms. They are
available on all supported development platforms and on the tested target
platforms. They will remain source and binary compatible during Qt 5.
Essential modules are general and useful for a majority of Qt applications.
A module that is used for a special purpose is considered an add-on module
even if it is available on all supported platforms.
The following table lists the Qt essentials:
\table 80%
\header
\li Module
\li Description
\row
\li \l{Qt Core}
\li Core non-graphical classes used by other modules.
\row
\li \l{Qt GUI}
\li Base classes for graphical user interface (GUI) components.
Includes OpenGL.
\row
\li \l{Qt Multimedia}
\li Classes for audio, video, radio and camera functionality.
\row
\li \l{Qt Multimedia Widgets}
\li Widget-based classes for implementing multimedia functionality.
\row
\li \l{Qt Network}
\li Classes to make network programming easier and more portable.
\row
\li \l{Qt QML}
\li Classes for QML and JavaScript languages.
\row
\li \l{Qt Quick}
\li A declarative framework for building highly dynamic applications
with custom user interfaces.
\row
\li \l{Qt Quick Controls}
\li Reusable Qt Quick based UI controls to create classic desktop-style
user interfaces
\row
\li \l{Qt Quick Layouts}
\li Layouts are items that are used to arrange Qt Quick 2 based items in
the user interface.
\row
\li \l{Qt SQL}
\li Classes for database integration using SQL.
\row
\li \l{Qt Test}
\li Classes for unit testing Qt applications and libraries.
\row
\li \l{Qt WebKit}
\li Classes for a WebKit2 based implementation and a new QML API.
See also Qt WebKit Widgets in the add-on modules.
\row
\li \l{Qt WebKit Widgets}
\li WebKit1 and QWidget-based classes from Qt 4.
\row
\li \l{Qt Widgets}
\li Classes to extend Qt GUI with C++ widgets.
\endtable
If you use \l qmake to build your projects, the \l{Qt Core} and \l{Qt GUI}
modules are included by default. To link only against Qt Core, add
the following line to your \c .pro file:
\code
QT -= gui
\endcode
On Windows, if you do not use \l qmake
or other build tools such as \l{CMake Manual}{CMake}, you also need to link against
the \c qtmain library.
\section1 Qt Add-Ons
\e{Qt Add-On} modules bring additional value for specific purposes. These
modules may only be available on some development platform for some target
platforms. Some of them are included in the Qt releases on particular
platforms. Each add-on module specifies its compatibility promise
separately.
