6\title Important Concepts In Qt Quick - Data - Models, Views and Data Storage
7\brief Overview of the data, model and view concepts
9Most applications will have data that needs to be displayed to the user. That
10data might come from a variety of sources: network sources, local files, and
11databases are all common sources of data.
13\section1 Models and Views
15It is often advantageous to show similar data in a similar manner, within an
16application, and this gives rise to the idea of having a model which contains
17data, and a view which displays the data. The view will display a delegate
18for every datum in the model.
20For information about how the Model/View paradigm is implemented in Qt Quick,
21see the page titled \l{qtquick-modelviewsdata-modelview.html}
22{Models and Views in Qt Quick}.
24\section1 Data Storage and Access
26Databases are commonly used to store information in applications. Qt Quick
27provides simplified access to relational databases via the
28\l QtQuick.LocalStorage module.
