        """The DesignSpaceDocument object can read and write ``.designspace`` data.
        It imports the axes, sources, variable fonts and instances to very basic
        **descriptor** objects that store the data in attributes. Data is added to
        the document by creating such descriptor objects, filling them with data
        and then adding them to the document. This makes it easy to integrate this
        object in different contexts.

        The **DesignSpaceDocument** object can be subclassed to work with
        different objects, as long as they have the same attributes. Reader and
        Writer objects can be subclassed as well.

        **Note:** Python attribute names are usually camelCased, the
        corresponding `XML <document-xml-structure>`_ attributes are usually
        all lowercase.
