TwelveMonkeys ImageIO is a collection of plugins and extensions for Java’s ImageIO.
These plugins extends the number of image file formats supported in Java, using the javax.imageio.* package. The main purpose of this project is to provide support for formats not covered by the JRE itself.
Support for formats is important, both to be able to read data found “in the wild”, as well as to maintain access to data in legacy formats. Because there is lots of legacy data out there, we see the need for open implementations of readers for popular formats. The goal is to create a set of efficient and robust ImageIO plug-ins, that can be distributed independently.
TwelveMonkeys ImageIO 是 Java 的 ImageIO 的插件和扩展的集合。
这些插件使用 javax. imageio 包扩展了 Java 中支持的图像文件格式的数量。此项目的主要目的是为 JRE 本身不包括的格式提供支持。
对格式的支持非常重要, 既可以读取 “野外” 中的数据, 也可以保持对旧式格式数据的访问。由于存在大量的遗留数据, 我们认为需要对流行格式的读者开放实现。目标是创建一套高效、健壮的 ImageIO插件, 可以独立分布。
