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