Comparing the technologies

Now that we have looked at both technologies, let's compare them side by side:

Qt Widgets Qt Quick (QML)
Advantages
  • Mature technology
  • Very customizable
  • Fast
  • Easily interface to C/C++ libraries
  • Lower hardware (HW) requirements (don't need OpenGL, and so on)
  • Easy to learn
  • Based on ECMASCRIPT (JavaScript)
  • Easy to implement flashy GUI
  • Already contains support for modern UI concepts (flick scroll, slide in from side, and so on)
Disadvantages
  • Steep learning curve
  • Need to know how to use C++
  • Hard to implement flashy UIs because more custom coding is required
  • Cannot be used for WebGL interfaces
  • Not easy to interface to C/C++ libraries
  • Can be slower
  • Higher HW requirements (requires OpenGL, and so on)
Typical Applications
  • Desktop applications
  • Applications where large datasets must be viewed
  • Image capture and processing applications...
