/**
 * A {@code DataFlavor} provides meta information about data. {@code DataFlavor}
 * is typically used to access data on the clipboard, or during a drag and drop
 * operation.
 * <p>
 * An instance of {@code DataFlavor} encapsulates a content type as defined in
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt">RFC 2045</a> and
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt">RFC 2046</a>. A content type is
 * typically referred to as a MIME type.
 * <p>
 * A content type consists of a media type (referred to as the primary type), a
 * subtype, and optional parameters. See
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt">RFC 2045</a> for details on the
 * syntax of a MIME type.
 * <p>
 * The JRE data transfer implementation interprets the parameter
 * &quot;class&quot; of a MIME type as <B>a representation class</b>. The
 * representation class reflects the class of the object being transferred. In
 * other words, the representation class is the type of object returned by
 * {@link Transferable#getTransferData}. For example, the MIME type of
 * {@link #imageFlavor} is {@code "image/x-java-image;class=java.awt.Image"},
 * the primary type is {@code image}, the subtype is {@code x-java-image}, and
 * the representation class is {@code java.awt.Image}. When
 * {@code getTransferData} is invoked with a {@code DataFlavor} of
 * {@code imageFlavor}, an instance of {@code java.awt.Image} is returned. It's
 * important to note that {@code DataFlavor} does no error checking against the
 * representation class. It is up to consumers of {@code DataFlavor}, such as
 * {@code Transferable}, to honor the representation class.
 * <br>
 * Note, if you do not specify a representation class when creating a
 * {@code DataFlavor}, the default representation class is used. See appropriate
 * documentation for {@code DataFlavor}'s constructors.
 * <p>
 * Also, {@code DataFlavor} instances with the &quot;text&quot; primary MIME
 * type may have a &quot;charset&quot; parameter. Refer to
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt">RFC 2046</a> and
 * {@link #selectBestTextFlavor} for details on &quot;text&quot; MIME types and
 * the &quot;charset&quot; parameter.
 * <p>
 * Equality of {@code DataFlavors} is determined by the primary type, subtype,
 * and representation class. Refer to {@link #equals(DataFlavor)} for details.
 * When determining equality, any optional parameters are ignored. For example,
 * the following produces two {@code DataFlavors} that are considered identical:
 * <pre>
 *   DataFlavor flavor1 = new DataFlavor(Object.class, &quot;X-test/test; class=&lt;java.lang.Object&gt;; foo=bar&quot;);
 *   DataFlavor flavor2 = new DataFlavor(Object.class, &quot;X-test/test; class=&lt;java.lang.Object&gt;; x=y&quot;);
 *   // The following returns true.
 *   flavor1.equals(flavor2);
 * </pre>
 * As mentioned, {@code flavor1} and {@code flavor2} are considered identical.
 * As such, asking a {@code Transferable} for either {@code DataFlavor} returns
 * the same results.
 * <p>
 * For more information on using data transfer with Swing see the
 * <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/index.html">How
 * to Use Drag and Drop and Data Transfer</a>, section in
 * <em>The Java Tutorial</em>.

     * <li>"text/plain"
     * <li>"text/&lt;other&gt;"
     * </ul>

     * For example, "text/sgml" will be selected over "text/html", and
     * {@code DataFlavor.stringFlavor} will be chosen over
     * {@code DataFlavor.plainTextFlavor}.
     * <p>
     * If two or more flavors share the best MIME type in the array, then that
     * MIME type will be checked to see if it supports the charset parameter.
     * <p>
     * The following MIME types support, or are treated as though they support,
     * the charset parameter:
     * <ul>
     * <li>"text/sgml"
     * <li>"text/xml"
     * <li>"text/html"
     * <li>"text/enriched"

     * <ul>
     * <li>"text/rtf"

     * from that point on that the MIME type supports the charset parameter and
     * will not check again. If the parameter is not explicitly listed, the JRE
     * will assume from that point on that the MIME type does not support the
     * charset parameter and will not check again. Because this check is
     * performed on an arbitrarily chosen {@code DataFlavor}, developers must
     * ensure that all {@code DataFlavor}s with a "text/&lt;other&gt;" MIME type
     * specify the charset parameter if it is supported by that MIME type.
     * Developers should never rely on the JRE to substitute the platform's
     * default charset for a "text/&lt;other&gt;" DataFlavor. Failure to adhere
     * to this restriction will lead to undefined behavior.
     * <p>
     * If the best MIME type in the array does not support the charset
     * parameter, the flavors which share that MIME type will then be sorted by
     * their representation classes in the following order:
     * {@code java.io.InputStream}, {@code java.nio.ByteBuffer}, {@code [B},
     * &lt;all others&gt;.
     * <p>
     * If two or more flavors share the best representation class, or if no
     * flavor has one of the three specified representations, then one of those
     * flavors will be chosen non-deterministically.
     * <p>
     * If the best MIME type in the array does support the charset parameter,
     * the flavors which share that MIME type will then be sorted by their
     * representation classes in the following order: {@code java.io.Reader},

     * flavors will be chosen non-deterministically. If, however, no flavor has
     * one of the four specified representations, the flavors will then be
     * sorted by their charsets. Unicode charsets, such as "UTF-16", "UTF-8",
