v6.11.1
(LGPL-3.0-only OR GPL-2.0-only OR GPL-3.0-only) AND BSD-3-Clause
Qt library enabling bidirectional communication between C++ applications and embedded JavaScript/HTML via WebSocket.
Why you might care
Use this if you're building Qt applications that need to expose C++ functionality to an embedded web UI or vice versa. QtWebChannel provides a clean, standardized bridge for IPC between Qt and web components, avoiding raw socket coding. It's primarily a build/runtime dependency for Qt-based desktop apps with hybrid web interfaces.
