What is qt platform and what does it mean?

Qt is a cross-platform graphical user interface (GUI) development tool. It uses C++ programming language and a set of easy-to-use APIs, so that developers can easily migrate programs from one operating system to another, and can easily create applications for various devices. The advantage of Qt's cross-platform feature is that developers under different operating systems can use the same code base, thus developing cross-platform applications more quickly.

Qt platform not only makes a lot of efforts for cross-platform performance and function optimization, but also provides some complete solutions, such as building tool chains independently. Therefore, Qt developers can easily build applications with different target platforms on a set of APIs instead of integrating multiple build systems. In addition, Qt also provides some general tools for other important development activities, such as Qt reading file library and QtQuick image interaction solution.

Qt platform provides some additional functions and solutions for different families or workplaces. For example, Qt provides special solutions for automobiles, medical care and the Internet of Things (IoT). The open API of Qt system is not limited to specific fields, so Qt can provide a series of tools and solutions that users need no matter what tasks they do. In a word, Qt is an excellent tool to help users develop and browse applications across platforms.
