It is a simple chat between a C++ application and a remote HTML client running in your default browser. \include examples-run.qdocinc \section1 Communicating with a Remote Client The C++ application sets up a QWebChannel instance and publishes a \c Dialog object over it. For the remote client side, \l {standalone/index.html}{index.html} is opened. Both show a dialog with the list of received messages and an input box to send messages to the other end. The \c Dialog emits the \c Dialog::sendText() signal when the user sends a message. The signal automatically gets propagated to the HTML client. When the user enters a message on the HTML side, \c Dialog::receiveText() is called. All communication between the HTML client and the C++ server is done over a WebSocket. The C++ side instantiates a QWebSocketServer and wraps incoming QWebSocket connections in QWebChannelAbstractTransport objects. These objects are then connected to the QWebChannel instance. \sa {Qt WebChannel JavaScript API} */
