About:
Qt is a comprehensive C++ application framework for building cross-platform native UIs and applications. It provides an extensive set of libraries for GUI creation, 2D/3D graphics, networking, and database connectivity. The framework enables developers to write code once and deploy it across desktop, mobile, and embedded operating systems.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform GUI development
  • Signals and slots architecture
  • Rich set of UI components
  • Integrated build system (qmake/CMake)
  • Extensive documentation
Use Cases:
  • Desktop application development
  • Embedded device UIs
  • Mobile app development
  • Industrial automation software
Alternatives:
  • GTK – Primarily Linux-focused with less mature Windows/macOS support
  • wxWidgets – Uses native widgets instead of custom rendering
  • Electron – Web-based vs native performance and resource usage
