    Description

      The "Serializing Qt Data Types" page of the documentation is incomplete.
      In the old versions of Qt (e.g. 5.12), on the page it was explained in detail the binary format for each data type.
      Now there is only a list of the supported types.
      I think it's very important to know the binary format, because you can see the differences between the Qt versions. In addition, you can load the files written by QDataStream in a software that doesn't use the Qt library.
