Handshake Messages

This document discusses how complex objects are translated to and from QVariantMaps.

Handshake Types are (de-)serialized to and from QVariantMaps. An additional key/value pair "MsgType" is added, which contains the name of the complexStruct’s type – for example ClientInitAck – as QString.

For en/decoding the specified fields see Serialization.

ClientVersion QString Version of the client
