    \class QDeclarativePropertyMap
    \since 4.7
    \brief The QDeclarativePropertyMap class allows you to set key-value pairs that can be used in QML bindings.

    QDeclarativePropertyMap provides a convenient way to expose domain data to the UI layer.
    The following example shows how you might declare data in C++ and then
    access it in QML.

    In the C++ file:
    \code
    // create our data
    QDeclarativePropertyMap ownerData;
    ownerData.insert("name", QVariant(QString("John Smith")));
    ownerData.insert("phone", QVariant(QString("555-5555")));

    // expose it to the UI layer
    QDeclarativeView view;
    QDeclarativeContext *ctxt = view.rootContext();
    ctxt->setContextProperty("owner", &ownerData);

    view.setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("main.qml"));
    view.show();
    \endcode

    Then, in \c main.qml:
    \code
    Text { text: owner.name + " " + owner.phone }
    \endcode

    The binding is dynamic - whenever a key's value is updated, anything bound to that
    key will be updated as well.

    To detect value changes made in the UI layer you can connect to the valueChanged() signal.
    However, note that valueChanged() is \bold NOT emitted when changes are made by calling insert()
    or clear() - it is only emitted when a value is updated from QML.

    \note It is not possible to remove keys from the map; once a key has been added, you can only
    modify or clear its associated value.
