\title Qt Qml Tooling
\brief List of Qt Qml Tools and Utilities
 
The Qt Qml module provides a range of tools and utilities that enhance
the developer and designer experience and includes some internal tools
used by Qt. The following sections offer a concise overview of these tools
and utilities, along with links to additional information about each of them.
 
\section1 Qt Quick Compiler
 
The \l{Qt Quick Compiler} processes QML and JavaScript code at compile time to improve
application performance. It consists of two main components: the QML type compiler
which generates C++ classes from QML types, and the QML script compiler which compiles
bindings and functions to efficient byte code and C++. This results in faster
application startup and more efficient execution of QML code.
 
\section1 Deployment
 
\l{Deploying QML Applications} requires bundling all necessary QML files, JavaScript resources,
plugins, and dependencies with your application. Qt provides tools and CMake functions to
automate the deployment process, ensuring that all required QML imports and their dependencies
are correctly identified and packaged. This includes handling platform-specific requirements
for distributing QML modules and plugins.
 
\section1 Developer tools
 
A set of tools provided by the Qt Qml module that aim to facilitate a QML
developer's life during various phases of development. These tools are:
 
\annotatedlist qtqml-tooling-devtools
 
\section1 Designer tools
 
The Qt Qml module also provides user facing tools which can increase the
productivity of designers by helping them with fast prototyping. These tools are:
 
\annotatedlist qtqml-tooling-design
 
\section1 Internal tools
 
Certain utility tools are not intended for direct user interaction.
Instead, they are all meant to be invoked by the build system,
augmenting its functionality and capabilities.
