25 * SECTION:atkstreamablecontent
26 * @Short_description: The ATK interface which provides access to
27 * streamable content.
28 * @Title:AtkStreamableContent
30 * An interface whereby an object allows its backing content to be
31 * streamed to clients. Typical implementors would be images or
32 * icons, HTML content, or multimedia display/rendering widgets.
34 * Negotiation of content type is allowed. Clients may examine the
35 * backing data and transform, convert, or parse the content in order
36 * to present it in an alternate form to end-users.
38 * The AtkStreamableContent interface is particularly useful for
39 * saving, printing, or post-processing entire documents, or for
40 * persisting alternate views of a document. If document content
41 * itself is being serialized, stored, or converted, then use of the
42 * AtkStreamableContent interface can help address performance
43 * issues. Unlike most ATK interfaces, this interface is not strongly
44 * tied to the current user-agent view of the a particular document,
45 * but may in some cases give access to the underlying model data.
