\title Qt QML
\brief The Qt QML module defines and implements the QML language

The Qt QML module provides a framework for developing applications and libraries
with the \l{QML Applications}{QML language}. It defines and implements the
language and engine infrastructure, and provides an API to enable application
developers to extend the QML language with custom types and integrate QML code
with JavaScript and C++. The Qt QML module provides both a \l{Qt QML QML Types}
{QML API} and a \l{Qt QML C++ Classes}{C++ API}.

Note that while the Qt QML module provides the language and infrastructure
for QML applications, the \l{Qt Quick} module provides many visual components,
model-view support, an animation framework, and much more for building user
interfaces.

For those new to QML and Qt Quick, please see
\l{QML Applications}
for an introduction to writing QML applications.

\section1 Using the Module

\section2 QML API

The QML types in Qt QML are available through the \c QtQml import. To use the
types, add the following import statement to your .qml file:

\qml
import QtQml
\endqml

\section2 C++ API

Using the \l{Qt QML C++ Classes}{C++ API} requires linking against the module library,
either directly or through other dependencies.
Several build tools have dedicated support for this, including CMake and qmake.

\section3 Building with CMake

Use the \c find_package() command to locate the needed module components in the Qt6 package:

\snippet code/doc_src_qtqml.cmake 0

See also the \l{Build with CMake} overview.

\section3 Building with qmake

To configure the module for building with qmake, add the module as a value of the QT variable in the project's .pro file:

\snippet code/doc_src_qtqml.pro 0

\section1 QML and QML Types

The Qt QML module contains the QML framework and important QML types used in
applications. The constructs of QML are described in the \l{The QML Reference}.

In addition to the \l{QML Basic Types}, the module comes with
the following QML object types:
\list
\li \l Component
\li \l QtObject
\li \l Binding
\li \l Connections
\li \l Timer
\endlist

The \l{QtQml::Qt}{Qt} global object provides useful enums and functions
for various QML types.

\section2 Lists and Models

New in Qt 5.1, the model types are moved to a submodule, \c QtQml.Models. The
\l{Qt QML Models QML Types}{Qt QML Models} page has more information.

\list
\li \l DelegateModel
\li \l DelegateModelGroup
\li \l ListElement
\li \l ListModel
\li \l ObjectModel
\endlist

\section1 JavaScript Environment for QML Applications

JavaScript expressions allow QML code to contain application logic. Qt QML
provides the framework for running JavaScript expressions in QML and from C++.

These sections are from \l{The QML Reference}.
    \list
    \li \l{qtqml-javascript-topic.html}{Integrating QML and JavaScript}
    \li \l{qtqml-javascript-expressions.html}{Using JavaScript Expressions with QML}
    \li \l{qtqml-javascript-dynamicobjectcreation.html}{Dynamic QML Object Creation from JavaScript}
    \li \l{qtqml-javascript-resources.html}{Defining JavaScript Resources In QML}
    \li \l{qtqml-javascript-imports.html}{Importing JavaScript Resources In QML}
    \li \l{qtqml-javascript-hostenvironment.html}{JavaScript Host Environment}
    \endlist

\section1 Integrating QML with C++ Applications

The module also provides the framework for running QML applications.
The QML framework allows QML code to contain JavaScript expressions and for
the QML code to interact with C++ code.

\list
\li \l{Important C++ Classes Provided By The Qt QML Module}
\li \l{Integrating QML and C++}
\endlist

    \section1 Additional Frameworks
    \list
        \li \l{The Declarative State Machine Framework}
    \endlist
\endomit

\section1 Licenses and Attributions

Qt QML is available under commercial licenses from \l{The Qt Company}.
In addition, it is available under free software licenses. Since Qt 5.4,
these free software licenses are
\l{GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3}, or
the \l{GNU General Public License, version 2}.
See \l{Qt Licensing} for further details.

Furthermore Qt QML in Qt \QtVersion may contain third party
modules under following permissive licenses:
