Programming Language Support & Language Bindings

The Qt API is implemented in C++, and provides additional features for easier cross-platform development. QML – introduced with Qt Quick and JavaScript-like declarative, language designed to describe the user interface of a program: both what it looks like, and how it behaves. As an alternative to using C++, Qt offers other languages, including Python . Officially, Python bindings are being maintained by the project, under the name of Qt for Python.

C++ Development with Qt

Qt provides an intuitive C++ class library with a rich set of application build blocks for C++ development. Qt goes beyond C++ in the areas of inter-object communication and flexibility for advanced GUI development. Qt adds the following features to C++:

• Powerful mechanism for inter-object communication called signals and slots
• Queryable and designable object properties
• Powerful events and events filters
• Contextual string translation for internationalization
• Sophisticated interval driven timers that make it possible to elegantly integrate many tasks in an event-driven GUI
• Hierarchical and queryable object trees that organize object ownership in a natural way
• Guarded pointers that are automatically set to 0 when the referenced object is destroyed, unlike normal C++ pointers which become dangling pointers when their objects are destroyed
• A dynamic cast works across library boundaries.

QML Development with Qt Quick

QML is a declarative, JavaScript-based language designed to describe the user interface of a program: both what it looks like, and how it behaves. In QML, a user interface is specified as a tree of objects with properties, like in JSON.

• JavaScript, HTML and CSS skills can be used to code complete front-end apps
• Optimized for touch-based, animated mobile UIs
• Includes a set of graphical and behavioral building blocks: QML Types
• No C++ knowledge required for UI creation, while it can be extended with C++

Qt for Python

The Qt for Python project provides the PySide6 (and PySide2) module allowing users to develop Qt and QML application easily from Python.

• You can find more information for the project, which is currently available as a Technical Preview, in the wiki page.
• Compatible with Qt 5.11+. Currently in Qt6, Qt for Python is released on a similar cycle as the Qt framework, and supports Python 3.8+ (in Qt 6.6.0)

Qt for Python (PySide6) is the official set of Python wheels that The Qt Company provides.

Qt for Ring (RingQt)

RingQt is a binding of the Qt framework to the Ring programming language.

Ring uses Qt as its toolkit to provide cross-platform abilities.

Qt for Java and Kotlin (QtJambi)

QtJambi is Qt bindings for the Java programming language originally developed by Trolltech, the predecessor of The Qt Company.

The successive open source project provides bindings of Qt5 and Qt6 releases for latest Java JDK versions, GraalVM and Kotlin.

Qt for Rust (CXX-Qt)

Safe interop between Rust and Qt using CXX

CXX-Qt is a set of Rust crates for creating bidirectional Rust ⇄ C++ bindings with Qt. It can be used to integrate Rust into C++ applications using CMake or used to build Rust applications with Cargo. CXX-Qt provides tools for implementing QObject subclasses in Rust which can be used from C++, QML, and JavaScript.

Qt Quick: The Brig project provides library for Qt Quick framework, making it possible to write graphical applications in JavaScript and QML languages.

QML bindings for Nelson language

Nelson is an array programming language providing a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific applications using modern C/C++ libraries and others state of art numerical libraries.

The QML engine enables nelson programs to display and manipulate graphical content using Qt's QML framework. see some examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=L3fsg4zhTjE

Qt for Free Pascal

Primarily for use with Lazarus but can be used standalone with FPC on Linux and FreeBSD.

This is not a complete binding set of the Qt framework for standalone use, but it is comprehensive enough for most applications, as it contains the core items needed for GUI programming.

On Linux distributions and FreeBSD use your package manager to search for qt6pas and qt5pas packages.
