Some questions about go-qml in general (for newbies).

[Timur Fayzrakhmanov]

I try to understand what can I do with the go-qml. Because I'm newbie - it's really difficult to understand.

For example: can I create/compile cross platform GUI application using go-qml or go-qml just provide QML API to create platform independent GUI for the platforms that go can be compiled to? 

From wiki page, there are the main modules of qt framework:

Module	Description
Qt Core	The only required Qt module, containing classes used by other modules, including the meta-object system, concurrency and threading, containers, event system, plugins and I/O facilities.
Qt GUI	The central gui module. In Qt 5 this module now depends on OpenGL, but no longer contains any widget classes.
Qt Widgets	Contains classes for classic widget based GUI applications and the QSceneGraph classes. Was split off from QtGui in Qt 5.
Qt QML	Module for QML and JavaScript languages.
Qt Quick	The module for GUI application written using QML2.
Qt Quick Controls	Widget like controls for Qt Quick intended mainly for desktop applications.
Qt Quick Layouts	Layouts for arranging items in Qt Quick.
Qt Network	Network abstraction layer. Complete with TCP, UDP, HTTP, SSL and since Qt 5.3 SPDY support.
Qt Multimedia	Classes for audio, video, radio and camera functionality.
Qt Multimedia Widgets	The widgets from Qt Multimedia.
Qt SQL	Contains classes for database integration using SQL.
Qt WebKit	Qt's WebKit implementation and API.
Qt WebKit Widgets	The widget API for Qt WebKit
Qt Test	Classes for unit testing Qt applications and libraries

Does go-qml support all of this modules or only Qt QML? What about new versions of qt like Qt 5.4. In the version was added new module named WebEngine, can I use it right now or go-qml supports only features up to X.X version? And so and so on...

I'm sorry if there is so many questions..but please, I really confused to understand what go-qml can do exactly.

Hi Timur,

I'm not sure I understand your real question. The two options, "cross platform GUI application" and "platform independent GUI" sound to me like the same thing, and are both correct, and both mean that you can create GUI applications with Go QML that you can build in multiple platforms supported by Go.

Go QML should support a large portion of the QML API, and anything you can do with plain QML you can also do with Go QML, but there is still integration work to do in a few places. I suggest just trying out what you want.
