Qt Containers or Standard Library Containers? - Video
Qt Container in Qt 5 and Qt 6
23 November 2022
A question that always comes up when working with Qt is: "Should I be using Qt containers, or should I be using the Standard Library containers?".
The answer to this question is not easy, because it's not merely a binary choice. It's not just about the feature set: ease to use, convenience, familiarity, interoperability all play a role.
In this video I'll try to illustrate pros and cons of Qt containers versus the Standard Library ones, and let you make an informed decision.
I mention Hyrum's law: all observable properties of an API, whether documented or not, will eventually be relied upon by someone. You can read more about it here https://www.hyrumslaw.com/ . This is what makes changing behavior of low-level classes a somewhat scary affair.
