/// \class sf::Packet
/// \ingroup network
///
/// Packets provide a safe and easy way to serialize data,
/// in order to send it over the network using sockets
/// (sf::TcpSocket, sf::UdpSocket).
///
/// Packets solve 2 fundamental problems that arise when
/// transferring data over the network:
/// \li data is interpreted correctly according to the endianness
/// \li the bounds of the packet are preserved (one send == one receive)
///
/// The sf::Packet class provides both input and output modes.
/// It is designed to follow the behavior of standard C++ streams,
/// using operators >> and << to extract and insert data.
///
/// It is recommended to use only fixed-size types (like sf::Int32, etc.),
/// to avoid possible differences between the sender and the receiver.
/// Indeed, the native C++ types may have different sizes on two platforms
/// and your data may be corrupted if that happens.
///
/// Usage example:
/// \code
/// sf::Uint32 x = 24;
/// std::string s = "hello";
/// double d = 5.89;
///
/// // Group the variables to send into a packet
/// sf::Packet packet;
/// packet << x << s << d;
///
/// // Send it over the network (socket is a valid sf::TcpSocket)
/// socket.send(packet);
///
/// -----------------------------------------------------------------
///
/// // Receive the packet at the other end
/// sf::Packet packet;
/// socket.receive(packet);
///
/// // Extract the variables contained in the packet
/// sf::Uint32 x;
/// std::string s;
/// double d;
/// if (packet >> x >> s >> d)
/// {
/// // Data extracted successfully...
/// }
/// \endcode
///
/// Packets have built-in operator >> and << overloads for
/// standard types:
/// \li bool
/// \li fixed-size integer types (sf::Int8/16/32, sf::Uint8/16/32)
/// \li floating point numbers (float, double)
/// \li string types (char*, wchar_t*, std::string, std::wstring, sf::String)
///
/// Like standard streams, it is also possible to define your own
/// overloads of operators >> and << in order to handle your
/// custom types.
///
/// \code
/// struct MyStruct
/// {
/// float number;
/// sf::Int8 integer;
/// std::string str;
/// };
///
/// sf::Packet& operator <<(sf::Packet& packet, const MyStruct& m)
/// {
/// return packet << m.number << m.integer << m.str;
/// }
///
/// sf::Packet& operator >>(sf::Packet& packet, MyStruct& m)
/// {
/// return packet >> m.number >> m.integer >> m.str;
/// }
/// \endcode
///
/// Packets also provide an extra feature that allows to apply
/// custom transformations to the data before it is sent,
/// and after it is received. This is typically used to
/// handle automatic compression or encryption of the data.
/// This is achieved by inheriting from sf::Packet, and overriding
/// the onSend and onReceive functions.
///
/// Here is an example:
/// \code
/// class ZipPacket : public sf::Packet
/// {
/// virtual const void* onSend(std::size_t& size)
/// {
/// const void* srcData = getData();
/// std::size_t srcSize = getDataSize();
///
/// return MySuperZipFunction(srcData, srcSize, &size);
/// }
///
/// virtual void onReceive(const void* data, std::size_t size)
/// {
/// std::size_t dstSize;
/// const void* dstData = MySuperUnzipFunction(data, size, &dstSize);
///
/// append(dstData, dstSize);
/// }
/// };
///
/// // Use like regular packets:
/// ZipPacket packet;
/// packet << x << s << d;
/// ...
/// \endcode
///
/// \see sf::TcpSocket, sf::UdpSocket
