    Excuse me. For example, in the front - end field, there are a lot of third - party libraries that can be searched and learned on npmjs.org.
    When learning Qt, we have seen:
    https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/index.html#add-ons-and-extensions
    ① the Essentials module of Qt and
    ② the Add - ons & Extentions expansion modules.

      third - party Qt modules

      What are third-party Qt modules?!
      Modules not made by Qt devs and published in the official Qt releases are not "Qt"...

      Since Qt is still just a C++ GUI framework and still not its own programming language like JavaScript, there are thousands of projects made by users/contributors on GitHub and similar sites, which work with or add something to Qt... custom widgets, functions or just code snippets...

      Edit:
      What @ChrisW67 is referring to is what I meant..."extensions" like QxORM can be integrated because of Qt's C++ API... but so does every C++ library work with your C++ project


      If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

        Yes. For example the KDAB tools, QxORM, or a range of things at KDE Store (some require KDE, others only Qt).

        Any library with a C or C++ API can fairly easily be rolled into a Qt program. Some you need to build from source, others come in binary form.

        No.
