## Description

Qml is a Go library that integrates with Qt QML to build native graphical user interfaces and cross-platform desktop applications. It functions as a bindings bridge, connecting backend code directly to a cross-platform windowing toolkit and combining C++ and declarative UI components with compiled programming languages.

The library relies on a Cgo-based foreign function interface to bridge Go runtime routines directly with native C++ object models. It features dynamic type registration to expose native Go types and methods to the declarative QML engine at runtime without intermediate stub code, along with event loop message integration that synchronizes the Go concurrency scheduler with the native Qt event loop. Additionally, a Qt object binding bridge connects dynamic QML properties and signals directly to compiled Go structs and functions via reflection.
