Class ContentType

java.lang.Object

abs.ixi.client.file.sfcm.ContentType

public class ContentType
extends Object

Typically a MIME multipart has a Content-Type header attached to it indicating the content type which applications use to process the content for user.

There is ever growing list of mime types and Stringflow SDK can transport any content type on the wire as it does not process the content as such (core sdk only transports it). However content type identification is vital for applications to process the files (multipart) correctly. ContentType captures the attributes to represent a valid MimeType. Additionally it offers convinience methods for application around ContentType handling.

ContentType should not be confused with MimeType. MimeType is an enumeration for commonely used mime types allowing users to avoid processing mime type strings. MimeType does not represent the list of supported mimes in sdk; on the other hand, ContentType is a generic way of handling "Content-Type" mime-header values.
