QtWebEngine is an attempt to integrate chromium’s fast moving web capabilities into Qt. It was introduced earlier this year [http://blog.qt.io/blog/2013/06/25/experimenting-with-chromium-and-qt/ on Digia’s Qt blog] ''[blog.qt.io]''
Qt WebEngine integrates Chromium's fast moving web capabilities into Qt.  


Our goal is to bring the latest and best implementation of the web platform into the universe of Qt. It is not just a port of the core <span class="caps">HTML</span>/CSS rendering engine, it is the entire Chromium platform. The integration with Qt focuses on an <span class="caps">API</span> that is easy to use, yet extensible. We also make no compromise on the graphics integration, integrating the layer rendering of Chromium directly into the OpenGL scene graph of QtQuick.

Qt WebEngine integrates Chromium's fast moving web capabilities into Qt.

Our goal is to bring the latest and best implementation of the web platform into the universe of Qt. The integration with Qt focuses on an API that is easy to use, yet extensible. We also make no compromise on the graphics integration, integrating the layer rendering of Chromium directly into the OpenGL scene graph of Qt Quick.

Relationship to Chromium

Qt WebEngine uses code from the Chromium project. However, it is not containing all of Chrome/Chromium:

  • Binary files are stripped out
  • Auxiliary services that talk to Google platforms are stripped out, therefore there is no access to Google APIs like:
    • Cloud Search API
    • Geolocation API
    • Google Drive API / SyncFileSystem API (no Chrome sync)
    • Safe Browsing API
    • Time Zone API
    • Cloud Translation API
    • Geocoding API
    • Google Assistant API
    • Google Calendar API
    • Nearby Messages API
  • The code is fixed to build on other compilers than Google's special modified version of clang.
  • The codebase is modularized to allow use of system libraries like libpng, libjpeg, and many others.

We do update to the latest Chromium version in use before a Qt release. After a release some bug fixes and security patches are backported. For LTS releases of Qt we might also update Chromium in a patch level release.
