How to send enum through network?

[Hostel]

I need send an enum through network. I have idea how to do this, but I want to know yours solutions for this. Maybye there is better way than my.

My idea:

// h
    Q_PROPERTY( Operation operation READ operation WRITE setOperation )
    Q_ENUMS( Operation );
 
    enum Operation
    {
        A,
        B
    };
 
   // cpp
    QDataStrem in( &tcpSocket );
    // waiting for all data
    QString sTmpTypOperacji;
    Operation eTypOperacji;
 
    in >> sTmpTypOperacji;
 
    const QMetaObject* metaObj = this->metaObject();
    int iEnum = metaObj->indexOfEnumerator( "Operation" );
    QMetaEnum enumOper = metaObj->enumerator( iEnum );
 
    eTypOperacji = (Operation)enumOper.keyToValue( sTmpTypOperacji.toLatin1() );

// h
    Q_PROPERTY( Operation operation READ operation WRITE setOperation )
    Q_ENUMS( Operation );

    enum Operation
    {
        A,
        B
    };

   // cpp
    QDataStrem in( &tcpSocket );
    // waiting for all data
    QString sTmpTypOperacji;
    Operation eTypOperacji;

    in >> sTmpTypOperacji;

    const QMetaObject* metaObj = this->metaObject();
    int iEnum = metaObj->indexOfEnumerator( "Operation" );
    QMetaEnum enumOper = metaObj->enumerator( iEnum );

    eTypOperacji = (Operation)enumOper.keyToValue( sTmpTypOperacji.toLatin1() );

Are there other ways to send enum?
