ContentSerializer

Object Hierarchy:

Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "gdk_content_serializer_get_type ()" ) ]
public sealed class ContentSerializer : Object, AsyncResult

A `GdkContentSerializer` is used to serialize content for inter-application data transfers.

The `GdkContentSerializer` transforms an object that is identified by a GType into a serialized form (i.e. a byte stream) that is identified by a mime type.

GTK provides serializers and deserializers for common data types such as text, colors, images or file lists. To register your own serialization functions, use [func@Gdk.content_register_serializer].

Also see [class@Gdk.ContentDeserializer].
