  29 \title QML Application Developer Resources
  30 \brief Essential documentation for QML application developers
  31
  32 \section1 Overview Of QML and Qt Quick
  33
  34 \section2 What Is QML?
  35
  36 QML is a user-interface specification and programming language.
  37 It allows highly performant, fluidly animated, visually appealing applications
  38 to be rapidly developed by either developers or designers.  QML offers a
  39 highly-readable, declarative, JSON-like syntax with support for imperative
  40 JavaScript expressions combined with dynamic property bindings.
  41
  42 \section2 What Is Qt Quick?
  43
  44 Qt Quick is the standard library of types and functionality for QML.  It
  45 includes visual elements, interactive elements, animations, models and views,
  46 particle effects and shader effects.  A QML application developer can get
  47 access to all of that functionality with a single import statement.
