\title Format of the QDataStream Operators
\ingroup architecture
\brief Representations of data types that can be serialized by QDataStream.
The \l QDataStream allows you to serialize some of the Qt data types.
The table below lists the data types that QDataStream can serialize
and how they are represented. The format described below is
\l{QDataStream::setVersion()}{version 8}.
It is always best to cast integers to a Qt integer type, such as
qint16 or quint32, when reading and writing. This ensures that
you always know exactly what size integers you are reading and
writing, no matter what the underlying platform and architecture
the application happens to be running on.
