/**
 * Provides the abstract base class for all image reading and writing utilities. ImageParser implementations are expected to extend this class providing logic
 * for identifying and processing data in their own specific format. Specific implementations are found under the com.apache.commons.imaging.formats package.
 *
 * <h2>Application Notes</h2>
 *
 * <h3>Format support</h3>
 *
 * For the most recent information on format support for the Apache Commons Imaging package, refer to
 * <a href="https://commons.apache.org/imaging/formatsupport.html">Format Support</a> at the main project development web site.
 *
 * <h3>On the accuracy of this Javadoc</h3>
 *
 * The original authors of this class did not supply documentation. The Javadoc for this class is based on inspection of the source code. In some cases, the
 * purpose and usage for particular methods was deduced from the source and may not perfectly reflect the intentions of the original. Therefore, you should not
 * assume that the documentation is perfect, especially in the more obscure and specialized areas of implementation.
 *
 * <h3>The "params" argument</h3>
 *
 * <p>
 * Many of the methods specified by this class accept an argument of type {@code T} defining the parameters to be used when processing an image. For example,
 * some of the output formats permit of different kinds of image compression or color models. Some of the reading methods permit the calling application to
 * require strict format compliance.
 * </p>
 *
 * @param <T> type of parameters used by this image parser
