Method Detail

### isCompatibleURL

    public boolean isCompatibleURL(ParsedURL url)

  Check if the URL references an image that can be handled by this format handler. Generally speaking this should not open the URL. The decision should be based on the structure of the URL (such as the protocol in use).

  If you don't care about the structure of the URL and only about the contents of the URL you should register as a StreamRegistryEntry, so the URL "connection" will be made only once.

  Parameters:
    `url` - The URL to inspect.

### handleURL

    public Filter handleURL(ParsedURL url,
                            boolean needRawData)

  Decode the URL into a RenderableImage, here you should feel free to open the URL yourself.

  This should only return a broken link image if the image is clearly of this format, but is unreadable for some reason. otherwise return null.

  If all entries refuse the url or return null then the registry will automatically return a broken link image for you.

  Parameters:
    `url` - The url that reference the image.
    `needRawData` - If true the image returned should not have any default color correction the file may specify applied.
