FlavorMap (Java Platform SE 8 )

All Known Subinterfaces:

FlavorTable

All Known Implementing Classes:

SystemFlavorMap
```
public interface FlavorMap
```
A two-way Map between "natives" (Strings), which correspond to platform- specific data formats, and "flavors" (DataFlavors), which correspond to platform-independent MIME types. FlavorMaps need not be symmetric, but typically are.

    Parameters:
    
    flavors - an array of DataFlavors which will be the key set of the returned Map. If null is specified, a mapping of all DataFlavors currently known to this FlavorMap to their corresponding String natives will be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    a java.util.Map of DataFlavors to String natives
  - getFlavorsForNatives
