About:
Qt WebEngine is a module from the Qt framework that integrates the Chromium browser engine to render web content within native applications. It enables developers to embed modern web technologies like HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript directly into their desktop or mobile apps. This provides a powerful solution for building hybrid applications that require rich, dynamic user interfaces.
Key Features:
  • Embeds Chromium for rendering modern web content
  • Full HTML5 and CSS3 support
  • JavaScript bridge for native integration
  • Off-the-main-thread rendering for performance
Use Cases:
  • Embedding interactive web content in desktop applications
  • Building hybrid applications that mix native and web UI
  • Displaying web-based documentation or help systems
Alternatives:
  • CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) – A standalone framework for embedding Chromium, often used outside of the Qt ecosystem
  • QtWebKit – The older, deprecated Qt web engine with limited modern web standards support
