/**
 * The service provider interface (SPI) for <code>ImageReader</code>s.
 * For more information on service provider classes, see the class comment
 * for the <code>IIORegistry</code> class.
 * 
 * <p> Each <code>ImageReaderSpi</code> provides several types of information
 * about the <code>ImageReader</code> class with which it is associated.
 *
 * <p> The name of the vendor who defined the SPI class and a
 * brief description of the class are available via the
 * <code>getVendorName</code>, <code>getDescription</code>,
 * and <code>getVersion</code> methods.
 * These methods may be internationalized to provide locale-specific
 * output.  These methods are intended mainly to provide short,
 * human-readable information that might be used to organize a pop-up
 * menu or other list.
 *
 * <p> Lists of format names, file suffixes, and MIME types associated
 * with the service may be obtained by means of the
 * <code>getFormatNames</code>, <code>getFileSuffixes</code>, and
 * <code>getMIMETypes</code> methods.  These methods may be used to
 * identify candidate <code>ImageReader</code>s for decoding a
 * particular file or stream based on manual format selection, file
 * naming, or MIME associations (for example, when accessing a file
 * over HTTP or as an email attachment).
 *
 * <p> A more reliable way to determine which <code>ImageReader</code>s
 * are likely to be able to parse a particular data stream is provided
 * by the <code>canDecodeInput</code> method.  This methods allows the
 * service provider to inspect the actual stream contents.
 *
 * <p> Finally, an instance of the <code>ImageReader</code> class
 * associated with this service provider may be obtained by calling
 * the <code>createReaderInstance</code> method.  Any heavyweight
 * initialization, such as the loading of native libraries or creation
 * of large tables, should be deferred at least until the first
 * invocation of this method.
