Overview of QtWebKit 2.1

UNDER CONSTRUCTION! This page is a draft that may still contain errors.

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).

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.

QtWebKit 2.1.0

QtWebKit 2.1.0 will be an independent QtWebKit release that is won't be imediately included in any Qt releases, so QtWebKit 2.1.0 will not be covered by commercial Qt support from Nokia. QtWebKit 2.1.0 is being verified to work with Qt 4.7.

Platforms

QtWebKit 2.1.0 is being verified for Symbian^3 and Maemo Harmattan platforms. While it may run on other platforms, neither stability nor all features are guaranteed, as the QA effort was very limited.

Notable web developer features

The highlights of the QtWebKit 2.1.0 release for web developers are:

• Touch Events
• Geolocation API
• Progress element and meter element
• Viewport meta tag
• Canvas element
• Application cache
• Web SQL Database
• Web Storage
• CSS Animations
• CSS Transitions
• CSS 2D Transforms
• CSS Text
• CSS Masks
• CSS ScrollBar Styles
• Native JSON parser

Note: HTML5 and CSS3 features are based on draft specifications that are subject to change.

JavaScript JIT

Just-in-time (JIT) compilation for JavaScript is supported on the following platforms:

• Mac OS X, 64-bit and 32-bit
• Windows desktop platforms when using Microsoft Visual C++ or gcc 4.1 or higher (MinGW). 32-bit build only; JIT is not supported on 64-bit builds on Windows.
• Linux on x86 platforms with gcc 4.1 or higher
• Linux on ARM (Thumb-2 JIT is not currently used)
• Linux on MIPS architecture, maintained by MIPS Technologies.
• Symbian

Netscape Plug-in API

QtWebKit supports the Netscape Plug-in API on X11, Windows, and Mac OS X.
