Description
There are several string types in Qt like QString, QByteArray, QLatin1String, QStringLiteral, QStringRef and QStringView (not sure if there are missing some more).
For beginners (but even for advanced developers) it is hard to understand the use cases for these types.
Please add a detailed comparison chapter/table to the Qt documentation that helps selecting the right type. Don't forget to link it to each of the above types' chapters.
Maybe it could be useful to explain tr() in that context.
