:class:`coverage.CoverageData` class provides an API to read coverage.py data
files.
+.. Note::
+ Only the documented portions of the API are supported. Other names you may
+ find in modules or objects can change their behavior at any time. Please
+ limit yourself to documented methods to avoid problems.
