MIMEType (SciJava Javadocs 0-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.scijava.ui.dnd.MIMEType

```
public class MIMEType
extends Object
```
A Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) type, as defined in RFC 2045 and 2046.
This class is similar to e.g. java.awt.datatransfer.MimeType and org.apache.pivot.util.MIMEType. We reinvent the wheel here since there is no public MIME type class in core Java excluding AWT, which we could use cross-environment in e.g. Android.

- Constructor Detail
  - MIMEType
```
public MIMEType(String mimeType)
```
    Constructs a new MIME type object from the given MIME type string.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mimeType - The MIME type string, which may optionally include a list of semicolon-separated parameters.
  - MIMEType
```
public MIMEType(String mimeType,
                Class<?> javaType)
```
    Constructs a new MIME type object from the given MIME type string.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mimeType - The MIME type string, which may optionally include a list of semicolon-separated parameters.
    
    javaType - The associated Java class of the MIME type. If non-null, a "class" parameter is guaranteed to exist with the MIME type indicating compatibility with the given Java class.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the mimeType includes a different Java class parameter than the javaType.
- Method Detail
  - getBase
```
public String getBase()
```
    Gets the MIME type with no parameter list.
  - getParameter
```
public String getParameter(String name)
```
    Gets the value of the parameter with the given name, or null if none.
  - getParameters
```
public List<String> getParameters()
```
    Gets the parameter names associated with this MIME type.
  - isCompatible
```
public boolean isCompatible(MIMEType mimeType)
```
    Gets whether this MIME type is compatible with the given one. Being "compatible" means that the base types match, and that the given MIME type has the same parameters with the same values as this one does (although the given MIME type may also have additional parameters not present in this one).
  - isCompatible
```
public boolean isCompatible(Class<?> javaType)
```
    Gets whether this MIME type represents objects of the given Java class.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object o)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
