[Qt-qml] qml +Qt programming for HTML5 Web site

[Jason H]

Well, what I think should  be done, is someone makes a browser plugin to run 
QML. This would inherently be a completely open source replacement for flash and 
would not be subject to the criticisms of proprietary flash. In order to gain 
acceptance though, it would take a formal QML specification publishing process, 
which I don't think Nokia is ready to do. However its complete LGPL openness may 
be enough to get its foot in the door.

It wouldn't be "hard" but I don't know the first thing about writing browser 
plugins, or supporting OSX.

Wile QGraphicsView could be used as a HTML canvas with a little work, I think 
the work to make a plugin is much easier.

The only technical challenge I see is the flash video part. WebM can stand in, 
and maybe you can get H.264 bundled... but Flash also has a facility for it to 
gauge bandwidth to the server and select an appropriate stream quality. You 
can't ship a plugin without that feature. Not hard to implement, but is a must 
have, and must work well.

Hi,

what's about programming a webSite with the power of Qt, and  Qml rendering as 
HTML5 .... For embedded device control, HTML web page is a good way ... But it 
will be very good to be able to do that in Qt ... and have a smooth interface in 
HTML5 done in QML (Qml is just javascript ... and rectangle ...) Json + Ajax to 
communicate between client and server
