Qt WebKit – Introduction

With the QtWebKit module, you can easily use HTML content in your application and embed a fully functional web browser into your application.

QtWebKit provides a WebKit web browser engine for you to use with Qt. You can add web browser functionality into your application to let the user surf the web with your application, or code some parts of your application with HTML. You can also locate and modify the HTML document elements from the native Qt side, or attach native Qt objects into the HTML / JavaScript side to be properties of the JavaScript window object, and then use the signals and slots of the native Qt object to pass information to and from the HTML environment.

Plug-ins are also supported. You can make Qt-based plug-ins as well as use existing Netscape-style plug-ins in your application.
