What is Qt?
- Qt is a cross-platform application framework
- that is widely used for developing application software with graphical user interface (GUI) (in which case Qt is referred to as a widget toolkit when used as such)
- Qt uses standard C++
- but makes extensive use of a special code generator (called the Meta Object Compiler, or moc)
- Qt can also be used in several other programming languages
- via language bindings.
- It runs on all major platforms
- Non-GUI features include
- SQL database access,
- XML parsing,
- thread management,
- network support,
- and a unified cross-platform API for file handling.
- GNU Lesser General Public License, Qt is free and open source
