    7 QtWebKit 2.1 is a web content engine based on the open source WebKit project. QtWebKit has broad support for modern web technologies and is compliant with typical web content. QtWebKit is developed as a part of the WebKit community, which enables every new release of QtWebKit to include the latest developments from the WebKit project. As a general indicator of web compliance, QtWebKit passes all current ACID tests (1 to 3).
    8 
    9 QtWebKit has a C++ API that allows Qt applications to embed web content, and to examine and manipulate the web content. The QtWebKit C++ API is extensively documented in the QtWebKit documentation.
