+# Shiboken6-generator
+
+Shiboken is the generator used by the Qt for Python project.
+It outputs C++ code for CPython extensions, which can be compiled
+and transformed into a Python module.
+
+C++ projects based on Qt can be wrapped, but also projects
+which are not related to Qt.
+
+## How does it work?
+
+Shiboken uses an API Extractor that does most of the job,
+but it requires a typesystem (XML file) to customize how the
+C++ classes/methods will be exposed to Python.
+
+The typesystem allows you to remove arguments from signatures,
+modify return types, inject code and add conversion rules
+from the C++ data types to Python data types, manipulate
+the ownership of the objects, etc.
+
+# Examples
+
+An example related to wrap a C++ library not depending on Qt
+can be found in our [repository](https://code.qt.io/cgit/pyside/pyside-setup.git/tree/examples/samplebinding).
+
+Additionally, you can find a couple of tests inside the
+[git repository](https://code.qt.io/cgit/pyside/pyside-setup.git/tree/sources/shiboken6/tests).
+
+For a more advanced case regarding extending a Qt/C++ application
+with Python bindings based on the idea of the PySide module,
+you can check the [scriptableapplication](https://code.qt.io/cgit/pyside/pyside-setup.git/tree/examples/scriptableapplication)
+example in our repository.
+
+# Documentation
+
+You can find more information about Shiboken in our
+[official documentation page](https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/shiboken6/).
