+\class QDeclarativeProperty
+\brief The QDeclarativeProperty class abstracts accessing properties on objects created from QML.
+
+As QML uses Qt's meta-type system all of the existing QMetaObject classes can be used to introspect
+and interact with objects created by QML. However, some of the new features provided by QML - such
+as type safety and attached properties - are most easily used through the QDeclarativeProperty class
+that simplifies some of their natural complexity.
+
+Unlike QMetaProperty which represents a property on a class type, QDeclarativeProperty encapsulates
+a property on a specific object instance. To read a property's value, programmers create a
+QDeclarativeProperty instance and call the read() method. Likewise to write a property value the
+write() method is used.
+
+\code
+
+QObject *object = declarativeComponent.create();
+
+QDeclarativeProperty property(object, "font.pixelSize");
+qWarning() << "Current pixel size:" << property.read().toInt();
+property.write(24);
+qWarning() << "Pixel size should now be 24:" << property.read().toInt();
+
+\endcode
