Qt 5.13.2 Reference Documentation

# Integrating Web Content

To create Qt-based web applications, Qt provides interfaces that support a wide range of standard web techologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These interfaces enable applications to embed content from the World Wide Web.

It is also possible to combine Qt C++ and QML code with HTML and JavaScript to create web applications. Through Qt WebChannel, several of Qt's APIs are accessible to remote clients.

## WebEngine in Qt

Qt provides the Chromium-based Qt WebEngine module for applications targeting desktop and embedded platforms. For example, a web browser application for Linux platform.

It also provides the Qt WebView module, which uses the native web engine of the platform. For example, a RSS feed reader Qt Quick application for Android and iOS.
