   * <p>This method is intended to help with usages of type parameters that have {@linkplain
   * ParametricNullness parametric nullness}. Sometimes, code may receive a null {@code T} but store
   * a "null sentinel" to take its place. When the time comes to convert it back to a {@code T} to
   * return to a caller, the code needs to a way to return {@code null} from a method that returns
   * "plain {@code T}." This API provides that.

If you need to send data **without** JSON encoding, use `raw_data` instead of `data`.

This is useful for sending pre-formatted text, log lines, or special <dfn title="A value used to indicate a special condition or state">"sentinel"</dfn> values like `[DONE]`.

`data` and `raw_data` are mutually exclusive. You can only set one of them on each `ServerSentEvent`.
