RESTful Client Applications in Qt 6.7 and Forward
RESTful Client Applications in Qt 6.7 and Forward
A blog post about making RESTful Qt client application development more convenient.
Cool stuff:
Qt 6.7 introduces convenience improvements for implementing typical RESTful/HTTP client applications. The goal was/is to reduce the repeating networking boilerplate code by up to 40% by addressing the small but systematically repeating needs in a more convenient way.
These include a new QHttpHeaders class for representing HTTP headers, QNetworkRequestFactory for creating API-specific requests, QRestAccessManager class for addressing small but often-repeating pieces of code, and QRestReply class for extracting the data from replies and checking for errors. QNetworkRequestFactory, QRestAccessManager, and QRestReply are released as Technical Previews in Qt 6.7.
