  52  * A {@code DataFlavor} provides meta information about data. {@code DataFlavor}
  53  * is typically used to access data on the clipboard, or during
  54  * a drag and drop operation.
  55  * <p>
  56  * An instance of {@code DataFlavor} encapsulates a content type as
  57  * defined in <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt">RFC 2045</a>
  58  * and <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt">RFC 2046</a>.
  59  * A content type is typically referred to as a MIME type.
  60  * <p>
  61  * A content type consists of a media type (referred
  62  * to as the primary type), a subtype, and optional parameters. See
  63  * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt">RFC 2045</a>
  64  * for details on the syntax of a MIME type.
  65  * <p>
  66  * The JRE data transfer implementation interprets the parameter &quot;class&quot;
  67  * of a MIME type as <B>a representation class</b>.
  68  * The representation class reflects the class of the object being
  69  * transferred. In other words, the representation class is the type of
  70  * object returned by {@link Transferable#getTransferData}.
  71  * For example, the MIME type of {@link #imageFlavor} is
  72  * {@code "image/x-java-image;class=java.awt.Image"},
  73  * the primary type is {@code image}, the subtype is
  74  * {@code x-java-image}, and the representation class is
  75  * {@code java.awt.Image}. When {@code getTransferData} is invoked
  76  * with a {@code DataFlavor} of {@code imageFlavor}, an instance of
  77  * {@code java.awt.Image} is returned.
  78  * It's important to note that {@code DataFlavor} does no error checking
  79  * against the representation class. It is up to consumers of
  80  * {@code DataFlavor}, such as {@code Transferable}, to honor the representation
  81  * class.
  82  * <br>
  83  * Note, if you do not specify a representation class when
  84  * creating a {@code DataFlavor}, the default
  85  * representation class is used. See appropriate documentation for
  86  * {@code DataFlavor}'s constructors.
  87  * <p>
  88  * Also, {@code DataFlavor} instances with the &quot;text&quot; primary
  89  * MIME type may have a &quot;charset&quot; parameter. Refer to
  90  * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt">RFC 2046</a> and
  91  * {@link #selectBestTextFlavor} for details on &quot;text&quot; MIME types
  92  * and the &quot;charset&quot; parameter.
  93  * <p>
  94  * Equality of {@code DataFlavors} is determined by the primary type,
  95  * subtype, and representation class. Refer to {@link #equals(DataFlavor)} for
  96  * details. When determining equality, any optional parameters are ignored.
  97  * For example, the following produces two {@code DataFlavors} that
  98  * are considered identical:
  99  * <pre>
 100  *   DataFlavor flavor1 = new DataFlavor(Object.class, &quot;X-test/test; class=&lt;java.lang.Object&gt;; foo=bar&quot;);
 101  *   DataFlavor flavor2 = new DataFlavor(Object.class, &quot;X-test/test; class=&lt;java.lang.Object&gt;; x=y&quot;);
 102  *   // The following returns true.
 103  *   flavor1.equals(flavor2);
 104  * </pre>
 105  * As mentioned, {@code flavor1} and {@code flavor2} are considered identical.
 106  * As such, asking a {@code Transferable} for either {@code DataFlavor} returns
 107  * the same results.
 108  * <p>
 109  * For more information on the using data transfer with Swing see
 110  * the <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/index.html">
 111  * How to Use Drag and Drop and Data Transfer</a>,
