ContentModel (Java Platform SE 7 b138)

java.lang.Object
- javax.swing.text.html.parser.ContentModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public final class ContentModel
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
A representation of a content model. A content model is basically a restricted BNF expression. It is restricted in the sense that it must be deterministic. This means that you don't have to represent it as a finite state automata.
See Annex H on page 556 of the SGML handbook for more information.
