Interface AssetRenderer

public interface AssetRenderer

An AssetRenderer provides AssetRenditions by bridging an Asset's data and some type of converter. AssetRenderers can be provided by AssetProviders when the conversion/translation can be managed by the AssetProvider itself (or its underlying system), or via a "global" registry. AssetProviderRegistry.getRendererFor(info.magnolia.dam.api.Asset, com.google.common.net.MediaType), provides the entry point (looks up in provider then in its own registry) bridges to other possible conversion mechanisms, independent of the Magnolia DAM.
