ContentDeserializer

class ContentDeserializer(**properties: Any)

Superclasses: Object

Implemented Interfaces: AsyncResult

A GdkContentDeserializer is used to deserialize content received via inter-application data transfers.

The GdkContentDeserializer transforms serialized content that is identified by a mime type into an object identified by a GType.

GTK provides serializers and deserializers for common data types such as text, colors, images or file lists. To register your own deserialization functions, use content_register_deserializer.

Also see ContentSerializer.
