ContentType

All Superinterfaces:

ContentType, Renderable, ToStringRenderable, ValueRenderable

All Known Subinterfaces:

ContentType.NonBinary

All Known Implementing Classes:

ContentType.Binary, ContentType.WithCharset, ContentType.WithFixedCharset, ContentType.WithMissingCharset
```
public interface ContentType
extends ContentType, ValueRenderable
```
A ContentType represents a specific MediaType / HttpCharset combination.
If the MediaType is not flexible with regard to the charset used, e.g. because it's a binary MediaType or the charset is fixed, then the ContentType is a simple wrapper.

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
`static class`	`ContentType.$u003B$u0020charset$eq$`
`static class`	`ContentType.Binary`	Represents a content-type which we know not to contain text (will never have have a charset)
`static class`	`ContentType.Binary$`
`static interface`	`ContentType.NonBinary`	Represents a content-type which we know to contain text, and has a specified charset.
`static class`	`ContentType.WithCharset`	Represents a content-type which we know to contain text, and the charset is known at runtime.
`static class`	`ContentType.WithCharset$`
`static class`	`ContentType.WithFixedCharset`	Represents a content-type which we know to contain text, where the charset always has the same predefined value.
`static class`	`ContentType.WithFixedCharset$`
`static class`	`ContentType.WithMissingCharset`	Represents a content-type which we know to contain text, and would be better off having a charset, but the client or server hasn't provided that.
`static class`	`ContentType.WithMissingCharset$`
