Qt WebEngine

Qt WebEngine provides functionality for rendering regions of dynamic web content.

Qt Framework, comprising Qt Essentials and l{Qt Add-Ons}, is fully functional without Qt WebEngine. Qt WebEngine is an optional extension module adding capabilities for accessing web content to applications that specifically require it.

Note: By default, Qt WebEngine depends on the Qt Positioning and Qt WebChannel optional modules, but can be built without them. Be sure to install these add-ons when using the online installer.

The functionality in Qt WebEngine is divided into the following modules:

Qt WebEngine Core C++ Classes	Provides public API shared by both QtWebEngineQuick and QtWebEngineWidgets.
Qt WebEngine QML Types	Provides QML types for rendering web content within a QML application.
Qt WebEngine Quick C++ Classes	Exposes C++ functionality to Qt Quick.
Qt WebEngine Widgets C++ Classes	Provides C++ classes for rendering web content in a QWidget based application.
