public class ContentHandler
extends Object

A class to read data from a URLConnection and construct an Object. Specific subclasses of ContentHandler handle specific mime types. It is the responsibility of a ContentHandlerFactory to select an appropriate ContentHandler for the mime-type of the URLConnection. Applications should never call ContentHandlers directly, rather they should use URL.getContent() or URLConnection.getContent()
