QtWebKit Module

QtWebKit provides a Web browser engine that makes it easy to embed content from the World Wide Web into your Qt application. At the same time Web content can be enhanced with native controls.

QtWebKit provides facilities for rendering of HyperText Markup Language (HTML), Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) documents, styled using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and scripted with JavaScript.

A bridge between the JavaScript execution environment and the Qt object model makes it possible for custom QObjects to be scripted. Integration with the Qt networking module enables Web pages to be transparently loaded from Web servers, the local file system or even the Qt resource system.

In addition to providing pure rendering features, HTML documents can be made fully editable to the user through the use of the contenteditable attribute on HTML elements.

QtWebKit is based on the Open Source WebKit engine. More information about WebKit itself can be found on the WebKit Open Source Project Web site.

The QtWebKit module is part of the Qt Full Framework Edition, and the Qt Open Source Edition.

Note: If you intend to use WebKit in an embedded Linux environment with uClibc then you need to use version 0.9.29 or greater, as that is the version of uClibc with sufficient pthread support.

Note: Web site icons, also known as "FavIcons", are currently not supported on Windows. We plan to address this in a future release.
