Thus, in the end of the day, the code written using the convenience API is:
|
||||
|
||||
- more expressive,
|
||||
- closer to the abstraction level of the problem being solved,
|
||||
- shorter,
|
||||
- at a higher level of abstraction (closer to the abstraction level of the problem being solved),
|
||||
- significantly shorter,
|

- almost as fast as one written using the basic API layer.

The code written using this layer expresses *what* it does, rather then *how*. Let's look at code samples.

sdbus-c++ users shall prefer the convenience API to the lower level, basic API. When feasible, using generated adaptor and proxy stubs is even better. These stubs provide yet another, higher API level built on top of the convenience API. They are described in the following section.

|

Tip: When registering a D-Bus object, we can additionally provide names of input and output parameters of its methods and names of parameters of its signals. When the object is introspected, these names are listed in the resulting introspection XML, which improves the description of object's interfaces:

|
||||
```c++
|
||||
concatenator->registerMethod("concatenate").onInterface(interfaceName).withInputParamNames("numbers", "separator").withOutputParamNames("concatenatedString").implementedAs(&concatenate);
|
||||
concatenator->registerSignal("concatenated").onInterface(interfaceName).withParameters<std::string>("concatenatedString");

sdbus-c++ ships with the native stub generator tool called `sdbus-c++-xml2cpp`. The tool is very similar to `dbusxx-xml2cpp` tool that comes with the dbus-c++ project.

The generator tool takes D-Bus XML IDL description of D-Bus interfaces on its input, and can be instructed to generate one or both of these: an adaptor header file for use on the server side, and a proxy header file for use on the client side. Like this:

Defining and working with D-Bus properties using XML description is quite easy.

### Defining a property in the XML

### Defining a property in the IDL
|

|

A property element has no arg child element. It just has the attributes name, type and access, which are all mandatory. The access attribute allows the values ‘readwrite’, ‘read’, and ‘write’.
