\class QQmlProperty
\since 5.0
\inmodule QtQml
\brief The QQmlProperty 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 QQmlProperty class
that simplifies some of their natural complexity.
 
Unlike QMetaProperty which represents a property on a class type, QQmlProperty encapsulates
a property on a specific object instance.  To read a property's value, programmers create a
QQmlProperty instance and call the read() method.  Likewise to write a property value the
write() method is used.
 
For example, for the following QML code:
 
\qml
// MyItem.qml
import QtQuick 2.0
 
Text { text: "A bit of text" }
\endqml
 
The \l Text object's properties could be accessed using QQmlProperty, like this:
 
\code
#include <QQmlProperty>
#include <QGraphicsObject>
 
...
 
QQuickView view(QUrl::fromLocalFile("MyItem.qml"));
QQmlProperty property(view.rootObject(), "font.pixelSize");
qWarning() << "Current pixel size:" << property.read().toInt();
property.write(24);
qWarning() << "Pixel size should now be 24:" << property.read().toInt();
\endcode
