All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>

public class ContentType
extends java.util.HashMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>

A ContentType represents a parsed MIME "Content-Type" header.

Besides an underlying MIME type, "Content-Type" headers include a set of properties, for example, a character set for text bodyparts. This class implements the Map interface to expose those properties.
