# Qt QML QML Types

The Qt QML module provides the definition and implementation of various convenience types which can be used with the QML language, including some elementary QML types which can provide the basis for further extensions to the QML language. The QtObject and Component object types are non-visual and provide building-blocks for extensions to QML.

## Importing QtQml

The types provided by the `QtQml` module are only available in a QML document if that document imports the `QtQml` namespace (or if the document imports the `QtQuick` namespace, as noted below).

To use the module, import the `QtQml` module with the following statement:

     import QtQml

Most clients will never need to use the `QtQml` import, as all of the types are also provided by the `QtQuick` namespace which may be imported as follows:

     import QtQuick

See the Qt Quick module documentation for more information about the `QtQuick` namespace and what it provides to QML application developers.

The QML types for creating lists and models, such as ListModel and ListElement, are moved to a submodule, `QtQml.Models`. The Qt QML Models page has more information.

The documentation for the types below applies equally to the types of the same name provided by the Qt Quick module, as they are in fact identical.

## Value Types

The following QML Value Types are provided:

point | Value with x and y attributes
rect | Value with x, y, width and height attributes
size | Value with width and height attributes

## Object Types

The following QML object types are provided:

Binding | Enables the arbitrary creation of property bindings
Component | Encapsulates a QML component definition
Connections | Describes generalized connections to signals
Date | Provides date functions
Locale | Provides locale specific properties and formatted data
LoggingCategory | Defines a logging category in QML
Number | Object provides represents a number value
Qt | Provides a global object with useful enums and functions from Qt
QtObject | A basic QML type
String | Object represents a string value
Timer | Triggers a handler at a specified interval
