qt qwebview 支持HTML5,qt - QWebView or QWebEngineView - Stack Overflow

Framework: WebKit vs WebEngine

There used to be Qt WebKit since 2007 up to version 3. According to this Qt blog and here It is replaced by new Chromium-based web engine which is Qt WebEngine. According to the link Qt WebKit works fine right now, and will continue to do so in the years to come but if you want to have all the latest and greatest HTML5 features available for your application or device, you should consider moving over to Qt WebEngine.

As this blog says: Qt 5.4 also still contains the older Qt WebKit module. Qt WebKit is still supported, but as of Qt 5.4 we consider it done, so no new functionality will be added to it. We are also planning to deprecate Qt WebKit in future releases, as the new Qt WebEngine provides what is needed. In

My Decision: I prefer to go with the latest QtWebEngine specially when I am in the initial stage. If I hit the wall then maybe I revert to the Qt WebKit.

QML: WebView vs WebEngineView.

For having a browser item in QML there are two items WebView and WebEngineView.

WebView with the same name has been defined in both WebKit and WebEngine. Documentation for WebView in WebKit is here. It should have the import QtWebKit 3.0.

For using the WebView bound to WebEngine which is mentioned in this documentation, we need to have this import: import QtWebView 1.0. But we will highly likely face an error #5 and #6 which the solutions to debug is states in the link.

I will use the latter WebView i.e the one which is provided by WebEngine. The proof that it is related to WebEngnie is the debug solution to error #5 and #6. From now on, WebView refers to the one offered by WebEngine in this document.

As this blog says: In Qt 5.4, Qt WebView is provided which offers a more limited API to embed the web browser that is native to the underlying operating system for use cases where the full Qt WebEngine isn’t needed, or where it can’t be used because of restrictions coming from the underlying OS. In Qt 5.4, the Qt WebView module supports iOS and Android. It supports embedding the native web engines of the underlying operating system into Qt, and is currently available for Android and iOS. Because of this, Qt WebView also gives a convenient light-weight solution for simple web document integration.

WebEngineView allows QML applications to render regions of dynamic web content. A WebEngineView component may share the screen with other QML components or encompass the full screen as specified within the QML application.It is my choice in applications which are not going to be executed in iOS and Android.

Note: It is According to this blog QtWebView will fall back to using QtWebEngine when possible. In the meantime that they are making more platforms possible with WebView. It is also mentioned as a reply to a QT-Bug that: While we don't have native WebView implementations for the OS X, Window etc. we can fallback to use QtWebEngine

My Decision: WebEngineView in non Android and iOS applications.
