    \class QDataStream
    \inmodule QtCore
    \ingroup qtserialization
    \reentrant
    \brief The QDataStream class provides serialization of binary data
    to a QIODevice.
 
    \ingroup io
 
 
    A data stream is a binary stream of encoded information which is
    100% independent of the host computer's operating system, CPU or
    byte order. For example, a data stream that is written by a PC
    under Windows can be read by a Sun SPARC running Solaris.
 
    You can also use a data stream to read/write \l{raw}{raw
    unencoded binary data}. If you want a "parsing" input stream, see
    QTextStream.
 
    The QDataStream class implements the serialization of C++'s basic
    data types, like \c char, \c short, \c int, \c{char *}, etc.
    Serialization of more complex data is accomplished by breaking up
    the data into primitive units.
 
    A data stream cooperates closely with a QIODevice. A QIODevice
    represents an input/output medium one can read data from and write
    data to. The QFile class is an example of an I/O device.
 
    Example (write binary data to a stream):
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_io_qdatastream.cpp 0
 
    Example (read binary data from a stream):
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_io_qdatastream.cpp 1
 
    Each item written to the stream is written in a predefined binary
    format that varies depending on the item's type. Supported Qt
    types include QBrush, QColor, QDateTime, QFont, QPixmap, QString,
    QVariant and many others. For the complete list of all Qt types
    supporting data streaming see \l{Serializing Qt Data Types}.
 
    For integers it is best to always cast to a Qt integer type for
    writing, and to read back into the same Qt integer type. This
    ensures that you get integers of the size you want and insulates
    you from compiler and platform differences.
 
    Enumerations can be serialized through QDataStream without the
    need of manually defining streaming operators. Enum classes are
    serialized using the declared size.
 
    The initial I/O device is usually set in the constructor, but can be
    changed with setDevice(). If you've reached the end of the data
    (or if there is no I/O device set) atEnd() will return true.
 
    \section1 Serializing containers and strings
 
    The serialization format is a length specifier first, then \a l bytes of data.
    The length specifier is one quint32 if the version is less than 6.7 or if the
    number of elements is less than 0xfffffffe (2^32 -2). Otherwise there is
    an extend value 0xfffffffe followed by one quint64 with the actual value.
    In addition for containers that support isNull(), it is encoded as a single
    quint32 with all bits set and no data.
 
    To take one example, if the string size fits into 32 bits, a \c{char *} string
    is written as a 32-bit integer equal to the length of the string, including
    the '\\0' byte, followed by all the characters of the string, including the
    '\\0' byte. If the string size is greater, the value 0xffffffffe is written
    as a marker of an extended size, followed by 64 bits of the actual size.
    When reading a \c {char *} string, 4 bytes are read first. If the value is
    not equal to 0xffffffffe (the marker of extended size), then these 4 bytes
    are treated as the 32 bit size of the string. Otherwise, the next 8 bytes are
    read and treated as a 64 bit size of the string. Then, all the characters for
    the \c {char *} string, including the '\\0' terminator, are read.
 
    \section1 Versioning
 
    QDataStream's binary format has evolved since Qt 1.0, and is
    likely to continue evolving to reflect changes done in Qt. When
    inputting or outputting complex types, it's very important to
    make sure that the same version of the stream (version()) is used
    for reading and writing. If you need both forward and backward
    compatibility, you can hardcode the version number in the
    application:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_io_qdatastream.cpp 2
 
    If you are producing a new binary data format, such as a file
    format for documents created by your application, you could use a
    QDataStream to write the data in a portable format. Typically, you
    would write a brief header containing a magic string and a version
    number to give yourself room for future expansion. For example:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_io_qdatastream.cpp 3
 
    Then read it in with:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_io_qdatastream.cpp 4
 
    You can select which byte order to use when serializing data. The
    default setting is big-endian (MSB first). Changing it to little-endian
    breaks the portability (unless the reader also changes to
    little-endian). We recommend keeping this setting unless you have
    special requirements.
 
    \target raw
    \section1 Reading and Writing Raw Binary Data
 
    You may wish to read/write your own raw binary data to/from the
    data stream directly. Data may be read from the stream into a
    preallocated \c{char *} using readRawData(). Similarly data can be
    written to the stream using writeRawData(). Note that any
    encoding/decoding of the data must be done by you.
 
    A similar pair of functions is readBytes() and writeBytes(). These
    differ from their \e raw counterparts as follows: readBytes()
    reads a quint32 which is taken to be the length of the data to be
    read, then that number of bytes is read into the preallocated
    \c{char *}; writeBytes() writes a quint32 containing the length of the
    data, followed by the data. Note that any encoding/decoding of
    the data (apart from the length quint32) must be done by you.
 
    \section1 Reading and Writing Qt Collection Classes
 
    The Qt container classes can also be serialized to a QDataStream.
    These include QList, QSet, QHash, and QMap.
    The stream operators are declared as non-members of the classes.
 
    \target Serializing Qt Classes
    \section1 Reading and Writing Other Qt Classes
 
    In addition to the overloaded stream operators documented here,
    any Qt classes that you might want to serialize to a QDataStream
    will have appropriate stream operators declared as non-member of
    the class:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_serialization_qdatastream.cpp 0
 
    For example, here are the stream operators declared as non-members
    of the QImage class:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_serialization_qdatastream.cpp 1
 
    To see if your favorite Qt class has similar stream operators
    defined, check the \b {Related Non-Members} section of the
    class's documentation page.
 
    \section1 Using Read Transactions
 
    When a data stream operates on an asynchronous device, the chunks of data
    can arrive at arbitrary points in time. The QDataStream class implements
    a transaction mechanism that provides the ability to read the data
    atomically with a series of stream operators. As an example, you can
    handle incomplete reads from a socket by using a transaction in a slot
    connected to the readyRead() signal:
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_io_qdatastream.cpp 6
 
    If no full packet is received, this code restores the stream to the
    initial position, after which you need to wait for more data to arrive.
 
    \section1 Corruption and Security
 
    QDataStream is not resilient against corrupted data inputs and should
    therefore not be used for security-sensitive situations, even when using
    transactions. Transactions will help determine if a valid input can
    currently be decoded with the data currently available on an asynchronous
    device, but will assume that the data that is available is correctly
    formed.
 
    Additionally, many QDataStream demarshalling operators will allocate memory
    based on information found in the stream. Those operators perform no
    verification on whether the requested amount of memory is reasonable or if
    it is compatible with the amount of data available in the stream (example:
    demarshalling a QByteArray or QString may see the request for allocation of
    several gigabytes of data).
 
    QDataStream should not be used on content whose provenance cannot be
    trusted. Applications should be designed to attempt to decode only streams
    whose provenance is at least as trustworthy as that of the application
    itself or its plugins.
