-<p><a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> is a variant datatype; it stores a value along with
-information about the type of that value. The range of possible
-values is determined by the type. The type system used by <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a>
-is <a class="link" href="glib-GVariantType.html#GVariantType" title="GVariantType"><span class="type">GVariantType</span></a>.</p>
+<p><a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> is a variant datatype; it can contain one or more values
+along with information about the type of the values.</p>
+<p>A <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> may contain simple types, like an integer, or a boolean value;
+or complex types, like an array of two strings, or a dictionary of key
+value pairs. A <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> is also immutable: once it's been created neither
+its type nor its content can be modified further.</p>
+<p>GVariant is useful whenever data needs to be serialized, for example when
+sending method parameters in DBus, or when saving settings using GSettings.</p>
+<p>When creating a new <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a>, you pass the data you want to store in it
+along with a string representing the type of data you wish to pass to it.</p>
+<p>For instance, if you want to create a <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> holding an integer value you
+can use:</p>
+<div class="informalexample">

+ </tr>
+ </tbody>

+
+<p></p>
+<p>The string 'u' in the first argument tells <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> that the data passed to
+the constructor (40) is going to be an unsigned integer.</p>
+<p>More advanced examples of <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> in use can be found in documentation for
+GVariant format strings.</p>
+<p>The range of possible values is determined by the type.</p>

<p><a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> instances always have a type and a value (which are given
at construction time). The type and value of a <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> instance
can never change other than by the <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> itself being
<p><a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> is largely compatible with D-Bus. Almost all types of
<a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> instances can be sent over D-Bus. See <a class="link" href="glib-GVariantType.html#GVariantType" title="GVariantType"><span class="type">GVariantType</span></a> for
exceptions. (However, <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a>'s serialisation format is not the same
-as the serialisation format of a D-Bus message body: use <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gio/unstable/GDBusMessage.html"><span class="type">GDBusMessage</span></a>,

<p>For space-efficiency, the <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> serialisation format does not
automatically include the variant's length, type or endianness,
values. <a class="link" href="glib-GVariant.html#GVariant" title="GVariant"><span class="type">GVariant</span></a> includes a printer for this language and a parser
