Content handlers for the MIME major type of image/.

Content handlers provide a way of interpreting streamed data without knowing what the underlying protocol is about. This package contains content handlers for dealing with the various image formats.

Unlike the standard Java implementations, these use native code to load the images, thus providing a faster implementation and less impact on the JVM memory footprint. The native libraries are sourced from around the internet and have a very thin veneer applied to make them useful with Java.
