    \ingroup modules

    \brief The Qt WebEngine Widgets module provides a web browser engine as well as
    C++ classes to render and interact with web content.

    Qt WebEngine Widgets provides a Web browser engine that makes it easy to embed
    content from the World Wide Web into your Qt application.

    Qt WebEngine Widgets provides facilities for rendering of HyperText Markup
    Language (HTML), Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) and Scalable
    Vector Graphics (SVG) documents, styled using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
    and scripted with JavaScript.

    In addition to providing pure rendering features, HTML documents can be
    made fully editable to the user through the use of the \c{contenteditable}
    attribute on HTML elements.

    Qt WebEngine is based on the Chromium project. More information about
    Chromium itself can be found on the \l{http://www.chromium.org}
    {Chromium Project} Web site.

    \section1 Including In Your Project

    To include the definitions of the module's classes, use the
    following directive:

    \snippet snippets/qtwebengine_build_snippet.qdoc 1

    To link against the module, add this line to your \l qmake \c
    .pro file:

    \snippet snippets/qtwebengine_build_snippet.qdoc 0

    \section1 Notes

    \note Web site icons, also known as "FavIcons", are currently not supported
    on Windows. We plan to address this in a future release.

    \section1 Architecture

    Before an application can use the Qt WebEngine Widgets classes, it must call
    the static initialization method for the module.

    \snippet snippets/simple/main.cpp Initializing QWebEngineWidgets

    The easiest way to render content is through the QWebEngineView class. As a
    widget it can be embedded into your forms or a graphics view, and it
    provides convenience functions for downloading and rendering web sites.

    \snippet snippets/simple/main.cpp Using QWebEngineView

    QWebEngineView is used to view Web pages. An instance of QWebEngineView has one
    QWebEnginePage. QWebEnginePage provides access to the page's navigation history,
    allows to run JavaScript code in the context of the page's main frame and enables
    customization of handlers for specific events such as showing custom authentication
    dialogs.

    \section1 Examples

    There are several Qt WebEngine Widgets examples located in the
    \l{Qt WebEngine Widgets Examples} page.

    \section1 License Information
    This is a snapshot of the integration of Chromium into Qt. The exact version information
    can be found in the \c{VERSION} file supplied with Qt.

    Qt Commercial Edition licensees that wish to distribute applications that
    use the Qt WebEngine module need to be aware of their obligations under the
    GNU Library General Public License (LGPL).

    Developers using the Open Source Edition can choose to redistribute
    the module under the appropriate version of the GNU LGPL.

    Qt provides an integrated Web browser component based on Chromium, the popular
    open source browser engine.

    These examples and demonstrations show a range of different uses for Qt WebEngine,
    from displaying Web pages within a Qt user interface to an implementation of
    a basic function Web browser.
