     1.4 +D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.
     1.5 +Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in terms of
     1.6 +complexity.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +D-Bus supports broadcast messages, asynchronous messages (thus decreasing
     1.9 +latency), authentication, and more. It is designed to be low-overhead; messages
    1.10 +are sent using a binary protocol, not using XML. D-Bus also supports a method
    1.11 +call mapping for its messages, but it is not required; this makes using the
    1.12 +system quite simple.
    1.13 +
    1.14 +It comes with several bindings, including GLib, Python, Qt and Java.
