About:
Qt WebView is a module from the Qt framework that enables the rendering of web content within native QML applications. It acts as a wrapper around the platform's native web rendering engine, such as WebKit or Blink, ensuring consistent performance and look. This allows developers to seamlessly integrate dynamic web pages, HTML5 applications, or remote content directly into their native desktop or mobile interfaces.

Key Features:

Native platform rendering for performance and consistency
Seamless integration with QML and the Qt ecosystem
Support for standard web technologies like HTML5 and JavaScript
Bridge for communication between native code and web content

Use Cases:

Embedding help systems or documentation within a desktop application
Displaying web-based dashboards or remote content in a native client
Building hybrid applications that combine native UI with web views

Alternatives:

CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) – Provides a more complete Chromium browser instance, but is significantly larger and more complex to integrate than Qt WebView.
Electron – Builds entire applications with web technologies, whereas Qt WebView is for embedding web content within a primarily native Qt application.
