Qt Quick

Qt Quick is a <a href="/facts/Free_software/IaoVtJXn">free software</a> <a href="/facts/Application_framework/xSzKMgdn">application framework</a> developed and maintained by the <a href="/facts/Qt_Project/EUranJFn">Qt Project</a> within the <a href="/facts/Qt_(framework)/gVhwlQnJ">Qt framework</a>. It provides a way of building custom, highly dynamic <a href="/facts/Graphical_user_interface/wBlQFWDP">graphical user interfaces</a> with fluid transitions and effects, which are becoming more common especially in <a href="/facts/Mobile_device/cNS1Rhvg">mobile devices</a>. Qt Quick includes a <a href="/facts/Declarative_programming/gogtdzcJ">declarative</a> <a href="/facts/Scripting_language/8pF4ajBL">scripting language</a> called <a href="/facts/Qt_Meta_Language/07vAyU8s">QML</a>.
Qt Declarative is a runtime interpreter that reads the Qt declarative user interface definition, QML data, and displays the UI that it describes. The QML syntax allows using <a href="/facts/JavaScript/XhhIIEsl">JavaScript</a> to provide the logic, and it is often used for this purpose. It is not the only way, however: logic can be written with native code as well.
Qt Quick and QML are officially supported in <a href="/facts/Qt_(framework)/gVhwlQnJ">Qt</a> 4.7 (with <a href="/facts/Qt_Creator/2kNpQqME">Qt Creator</a> 2.1), and it is a commercial option in mobile applications when Qt 4.7 is available for deployment in <a href="/facts/Symbian/gbRl35V9">Symbian</a> and <a href="/facts/Maemo/gQyp5ehf">Maemo</a> and <a href="/facts/MeeGo/3P3HSE8K">MeeGo</a> devices. It is also the native language of <a href="/facts/Ubuntu_Touch/Wat4drUo">Ubuntu Touch</a>.
