What is PRO File Format (Qt Project File)?

PRO file format, also known as Qt project file, is an XML-based file extension used to define projects in Qt Creator and other IDEs. It stores settings such as source files, targets, compiler options, and other values specific to the project. PRO files usually carry the .pro extension.

More Information

Basically, PRO files are used for C++, QML, and JavaScript projects. They are extremely useful when developers are building applications on a hybrid platform where C++ and QML or JavaScript code is combined together

They make it very easy to switch between these languages at the same time. Aside from allowing the organization of version control operations, they are also capable of defining external dependencies and enabling the assignment of compile flags to the application.

• XCODEPROJ File: XCode project files

What is PRO File Format? (Qt Project File)

As a specific type of file format, the PRO format is used in the Qt software development framework to store information about the projects and their related documents, such as source code, libraries, and other resources, associated with the projects.

Developers can easily configure their project with the help of the PRO file since they don’t need to manually enter all of the details each time the file is loaded.

More Information

It is possible to edit PRO files in any text editor as they are text-based files. Typically, they contain sections that define certain aspects of the project such as what source files will be included, which libraries will be linked to the project, and which compiler options should be used during the build process.

As soon as a developer opens a PRO file, Qt reads the information in the file and creates an internal model of the project according to the information in the file.

The PRO file format was created by Trolltech, a software company acquired by Nokia in 2008. When Nokia moved away from Qt, the development framework was released under an open source license and is now managed by the Qt Project.

A number of different applications and platforms use Qt, including automotive infotainment systems, medical devices, consumer electronics, educational software, and desktop applications designed for professionals.

How to Open and Edit PRO File?
