About:
Qt SCXML provides classes and tools for embedding state machines defined in SCXML files into Qt applications. It interprets the state machine description to manage application logic and state transitions declaratively. This enables developers to separate complex event-driven behavior from the core application code, improving maintainability.
Key Features:
  • Interprets standard SCXML (State Chart XML) files at runtime
  • Provides a C++ API for communication between the state machine and the application
  • Generates C++ state machine code from SCXML files for compile-time integration
  • Integrates seamlessly with the Qt framework and its event system
Use Cases:
  • Implementing complex UI logic and workflows in desktop or embedded applications
  • Managing communication protocols or device state machines
  • Decoupling application logic from the implementation code
Alternatives:
  • QStateMachine – Qt's native C++ state machine framework; requires manual coding rather than using declarative SCXML files.
