+    \title Serializing Qt Data Types
+    \ingroup qt-network
+    \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 12}.
+
+    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.
