A Qt/QML integration for .NET, enabling .NET developers to build cross-platform desktop and embedded GUI applications.
Qml.Net is a library that integrates the Qt/QML user interface framework with the .NET platform. It enables .NET developers to create cross-platform desktop and embedded applications using QML for the frontend and C# (or other .NET languages) for the backend logic, providing native rendering and performance.
.NET developers who need to build modern, cross-platform desktop or embedded GUI applications and want to leverage the Qt ecosystem's robust controls and tooling.
It offers a production-ready, high-performance bridge between .NET and Qt, allowing developers to use a mature GUI framework without leaving the .NET ecosystem, with support for advanced features like async/await and full bidirectional object passing.

.NET classes, properties, and methods are directly exposed to QML, enabling full use of C# logic in the UI layer, as demonstrated in the code examples for type registration and invocation.
Asynchronous .NET methods can be invoked from QML with continuations safely executed on the Qt UI thread, preventing cross-threading issues and simplifying async workflows.
Supports passing .NET objects to QML and QML/JavaScript objects back to .NET, including dynamic interaction with QObject instances, allowing flexible interop between frameworks.
Rendering and animations are handled natively by Qt, minimizing expensive P/Invoke calls and ensuring smooth GUI performance, as highlighted in the elevator pitch.
Requires separate NuGet packages for OS-specific Qt binaries and manual runtime discovery via RuntimeManager, adding configuration steps compared to pure .NET solutions.
The documentation is marked as WIP (Work in Progress), which can hinder onboarding and troubleshooting for new users, relying on examples for guidance.
Relies on both .NET and Qt ecosystems, increasing the learning curve and potential for integration issues, such as managing Qt dependencies and interop nuances.
