+ \class QDBusIntrospection
+ \brief Information about introspected objects and interfaces on D-Bus.
+
+ This class provides structures and methods for parsing the XML introspection data for D-Bus.
+ Normally, you don't have to use the methods provided here: QDBusInterface and QDBusObject will
+ do that for you.
+
+ But they may prove useful if the XML data was obtained through other means (like parsing a file).
