    \ingroup modules

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

    Qt WebEngine Widgets gives you a Web browser engine that you can use to
    embed content easily from the World Wide Web into your Qt application.

    Qt WebEngine Widgets lets you display HyperText Markup Language version 5
    (HTML5), Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) and Scalable Vector
    Graphics (SVG) documents, styled using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and
    scripted with JavaScript.

    HTML and XHTML documents can also be made fully editable to the user by
    using the \c{contenteditable} attribute on HTML elements.

    Qt WebEngine is based on the Chromium project. See the
    \l{http://www.chromium.org}{Chromium Project} Web site for more information.

    \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 Architecture

    Use the QWebEngineView class to display web pages in the simplest way.
    Because it's a widget, you can embed QWebEngineView into your forms and use
    its convenience functions to download and display web sites.

    \snippet snippets/simple/main.cpp Using QWebEngineView

    An instance of QWebEngineView has one QWebEnginePage. QWebEnginePage
    provides access to the page's navigation history, ability to run JavaScript
    code in the context of the page's main frame, and enables customization of
    handlers for specific events like showing custom authentication dialogs.
