+\title Structure of a QML Document
+\brief Description of the structure of QML documents
+
+
+A QML document is a self contained piece of QML source code that consists of two parts:
+
+    \list
+    \li Its \e import statements
+    \li A single root object declaration
+    \endlist
+
+By convention, a single empty line separates the imports from the object hierarchy definition.
+
+QML documents are always encoded in UTF-8 format.
+
+
+
+\section1 Imports
+
+A document must import the necessary modules or type namespaces to enable the
+engine to load the QML object types referenced within the document. By default,
+a document can access any QML object types that have been defined through
+\c .qml files in the same directory; if a document needs to refer to any other
+object types, it must import the type namespace into which those types have
+been registered.
+
+QML does \e not have a preprocessor that modifies the document prior to
+presentation to the \l{QQmlEngine}{QML engine}, unlike C or C++.
+The \c import statements do not copy and prepend the code in the document, but
+instead instruct the QML engine on how to resolve type references found
+in the document. Any type reference present in a QML document - such as \c
+Rectangle and \c ListView - including those made within an \l {Inline
+JavaScript}{JavaScript block} or \l {Property Binding}{property
+bindings}, are \e resolved based exclusively on the import statements. At least
+one \c import statement must be present such as \c{import QtQuick 2.0}.
+
+Please see the \l{qtqml-syntax-imports.html}{QML Syntax - Import Statements}
+documentation for in-depth information about QML imports.
+
+
+\section1 The Root Object Declaration
+
+A QML document describes a hierarchy of objects which can be instantiated.
+Each object definition has a certain structure; it has a type, it can have an
+id and an object name, it can have properties, it can have methods, it can have
+signals and it can have signal handlers.
+
+A QML file must only contain \b {a single root object definition}. The following is invalid and will generate an error:
+
+\code
+// MyQmlFile.qml
+import QtQuick 2.0
+
+Rectangle { width: 200; height: 200; color: "red" }
+Rectangle { width: 200; height: 200; color: "blue" }    // invalid!
+\endcode
+
+This is because a .qml file automatically defines a QML type, which encapsulates a \e single QML object definition. This is discussed further in \l{qtqml-documents-definetypes.html}{Documents as QML object type definitions}.
