### Class

# GdkContentDeserializer

#### Description [src]

    final class Gdk.ContentDeserializer : GObject.Object
      implements Gio.AsyncResult {
      /* No available fields */
    }

A `GdkContentDeserializer` is used to deserialize content received via inter-application data transfers.

The `GdkContentDeserializer` transforms serialized content that is identified by a mime type into an object identified by a GType.

GTK provides serializers and deserializers for common data types such as text, colors, images or file lists. To register your own deserialization functions, use `gdk_content_register_deserializer()`.

Also see `GdkContentSerializer`.

Gets the user data that was passed when the deserializer was registered.

###### gdk_content_deserializer_get_value

Gets the `GValue` to store the deserialized object in.

##### Methods inherited from GAsyncResult (4)

###### g_async_result_get_source_object

Gets the source object from a `GAsyncResult`.

###### g_async_result_get_user_data

Gets the user data from a `GAsyncResult`.

###### g_async_result_is_tagged

Checks if `res` has the given `source_tag` (generally a function pointer indicating the function `res` was created by).

since: 2.34

###### g_async_result_legacy_propagate_error

If `res` is a `GSimpleAsyncResult`, this is equivalent to g_simple_async_result_propagate_error(). Otherwise it returns `FALSE`.
