Adafruit_Sensor VS DHT-sensor-library

There are a few libraries. A popular, easy to use library is the Adafruit Unified Sensor Library collection that exposes an interface for BNO055 and other similar hardware. You can read it as a quaternion format (better for math geeks who like stable orientation) or as a rotation on X/Y/Z axes in either degrees or radians for people who aren't bothered by issues like gimbal lock when you hit a pure up or pure down orientation.

Following the official example, the following program reads from the sensors every 5 seconds, and prints the result via serial:

I know Arduino and everything, but if you take a look at the DHT library, you can see the difference in there:

A github page for the library for the temperature and humidity sensor I have says it's documentation is on Doxygen and I have spent the last way too long trying to figure out how to use it. I have the GUI open, I have the link to the GitHub page (https://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library) Can someone please help me understand how to get the documentation?

Tried with the Unified DHT sensor library.
