Qt includes a fully-integrated, ECMA standard scripting engine based on a JavaScriptCore back-end. Qt Script provides QObject integration, brings Qt’s Signals & Slots mechanism to scripting, and allows integration between C++ and scripting.
|
|
Key Functions
|
Benefits
- Script-enable your applications with a minimum of development effort
- Provide error reporting for scripts, and to let users track down bugs in their own scripts
|

The Qt Networking module provides functionality to make network programming easier and cross-platform. Qt provides complete client and server socket abstraction, and implements common protocols such as HTTP, FTP and DNS, including support for asynchronous HTTP 1.1.
|
|
Key Functions
- Complete client and server socket abstraction
- High-level classes such as QHttp and QFtp that implement specific application-level protocols
- Lower-level classes such as QTcpSocket, QTcpServer, and QUdpSocket
- Support for HTTP, FTP, DNS, asynchronous HTTP 1.1
|
Benefits
- Makes network programming easier and cross-platform

The QtSql module helps you provide seamless database integration to your Qt applications. Qt supports all major database drivers, and lets you send SQL to the database server, or have the Qt SQL classes generate SQL queries automatically.
|
|
Key Functions
- Driver Layer: Provides support for ODBC, MySQL, PSQL, SQLite, ibase, Oracle, Sybase, DB2
- API Layer: Provides access to specific databases
- UI Layer: Link data from a database to data-aware widgets
- Work with Qt’s Model/View programming model
|
Benefits
- Easily integrate data from databases into your Qt applications
- Present data in a variety of views
- Separate the data from the view, giving more flexibility for presenting data to the user in an intuitive way

The QtXml module provides a stream reader and writer for XML documents, C++ implementations of SAX and DOM and an XQuery & XPath engine. XQuery is a simple SQL-like query language for traversing XML documents to select and aggregate XML elements of interest and transform them for output as XML or in some other format. XQuery simplifies query tasks by eliminating the need for large amounts of procedural programming in C++.
|
|
Key Functions
- Stream reader and writer for XML documents
- C++ implementations of the SAX and DOM APIs
- Classes for higher level querying and manipulation of XML data using the XQuery query language
- Support for the XSLT transformation language for XML documents
- Support for XML Schema validation
|
Benefits
- Perform advanced XML queries with only a few lines of code
- Easily query, extract and transform XML data in your application

 The QtOpenGL module offers classes that make it easy to incorporate 3D graphics with OpenGL and OpenGL ES in Qt applications. OpenGL is the standard graphics library for building cross-platform, hardware-accelerated, high performance visualization applications. While OpenGL is ideal for 3D visualization, it offers little support for creating application user interfaces.

Qt’s cross-platform multi-threading functionality
simplifies parallel programming, while added concurrency features make it
easier to take advantage of multi-core architecture.

 Qt Graphics View provides a surface for managing and interacting with a large number of custom-made 2D graphical items, and a view widget for visualizing the items, with support for zooming and rotation. Graphics View uses a BSP (Binary Space Partitioning) tree to provide very fast item discovery, and as a result of this, it can visualize large scenes in real-time, even with millions of items.
|
|
Key Functions
- Zooming, rotation, perspective transformation and animation
- Drag-and-drop and printing support
- Embed and interact with widgets in the graphics scene
- Accelerated rendering back-ends, including OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and OpenVG*
|
Benefits
- Build advanced graphic effects faster
- Visualize millions of graphical items with high performance
- Allow users to interact with your application in new ways
