Is there is anyone tried QML inside Maya?

[LIJU kunnummal]

I have been looking for a way to ingerate QML inside Maya, is there had any kind of experience doing the same...!

I'm doing the same.

Keep in mind that the the current version of Qt, 5.2, is light-years ahead in development for QML. QML is a fairly new tech on the block and hasn't had all of its kinks worked out yet - for example they just recently ripped out their Javascript engine for another one, custom built for QML. 

If you're looking to expose Maya to QML I would suggest you go the route of developing it externally, using 5.2 or upwards and communicate with Maya and back via interprocess means.

Libraries like RPyC for instance essentially mirrors the external python environment onto your local environment, so the development tactics (simple things like calling functions directly, signals and slots, passing functions as arguments et. al.) translate without hiccups. Pure socket programming (CommandPort et. al.) however would have you serialise each request (to strings, for example) which would incur a slightly different development style.
