About:
Qt Remote Objects provides a high-level API for inter-process communication (IPC) and remote method invocation using a publish/subscribe model. It allows processes to expose and access interfaces and properties across different threads, processes, or devices. This module simplifies complex distributed application architectures by abstracting the underlying communication transport.

Key Features:

Publish/subscribe model for shared data and events
Remote method invocation (RPC) capabilities
Transparent communication across processes and devices
Supports multiple transport backends (e.g., TCP, local sockets)

Use Cases:

Connecting UI frontends to backend services in desktop applications
Coordinating multiple processes in embedded systems
Building distributed systems with decoupled components

Alternatives:

D-Bus – D-Bus is a standard for Linux desktop IPC, whereas Qt Remote Objects is cross-platform and integrates tightly with the Qt framework.
gRPC – gRPC is a general-purpose RPC framework requiring explicit service definitions, while Qt Remote Objects offers a more integrated, property-based approach for Qt applications.
