Interface Introspectable

public interface Introspectable
The org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable interface provides introspection data for D-Bus objects. This allows clients to discover the interfaces, methods, signals, and properties supported by an object at runtime.

The introspection data is returned as an XML document following the D-Bus introspection format. This is the standard mechanism for service discovery in D-Bus.

Example introspection data: 


 <node>
   <interface name="org.example.MyInterface">
     <method name="MyMethod">
       <arg name="input" type="s" direction="in"/>
       <arg name="output" type="s" direction="out"/>
     </method>
     <signal name="MySignal">
       <arg name="value" type="i"/>
     </signal>
     <property name="MyProperty" type="s" access="readwrite"/>
   </interface>
 </node>
