Dear Sze-Howe, I haven't worked much in Qt web modules. But below is my understanding.
With Qt 5.5 the Qt WebKit module is deprecated:( https://wiki.qt.io/New-Features-in-Qt-5.5#Deprecated_Functionality) QWebView uses WebKit as the backend. QWebEngineView uses Chromium as the backend. WebView with the *same name* has been defined in both *WebKit* and *WebEngine*. Hence import statement varies.[I believe this is the source of confusion ] *import QtWebKit 3.0* *import QtWebView 1.0* In 5.8, *import QtWebView 1.1* QT += qml quick *webview* This is useful on mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, and WinRT; especially on iOS, where policy dictates that all web content is displayed using the operating system's web view.
