public abstract class EditorKit extends Object implements Cloneable, Serializable
 A kit can safely store editing state as an instance
 of the kit will be dedicated to a text component.
 New kits will normally be created by cloning a
 prototype kit.  The kit will have it's
 setComponent method called to establish
 it's relationship with a JTextComponent.
| Constructor and Description | 
|---|
| EditorKit()Construct an EditorKit. | 
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| Object | clone()Creates a copy of the editor kit. | 
| abstract Caret | createCaret()Fetches a caret that can navigate through views
 produced by the associated ViewFactory. | 
| abstract Document | createDefaultDocument()Creates an uninitialized text storage model
 that is appropriate for this type of editor. | 
| void | deinstall(JEditorPane c)Called when the kit is being removed from the
 JEditorPane. | 
| abstract Action[] | getActions()Fetches the set of commands that can be used
 on a text component that is using a model and
 view produced by this kit. | 
| abstract String | getContentType()Gets the MIME type of the data that this
 kit represents support for. | 
| abstract ViewFactory | getViewFactory()Fetches a factory that is suitable for producing
 views of any models that are produced by this
 kit. | 
| void | install(JEditorPane c)Called when the kit is being installed into the
 a JEditorPane. | 
| abstract void | read(InputStream in,
    Document doc,
    int pos)Inserts content from the given stream which is expected
 to be in a format appropriate for this kind of content
 handler. | 
| abstract void | read(Reader in,
    Document doc,
    int pos)Inserts content from the given stream which is expected
 to be in a format appropriate for this kind of content
 handler. | 
| abstract void | write(OutputStream out,
     Document doc,
     int pos,
     int len)Writes content from a document to the given stream
 in a format appropriate for this kind of content handler. | 
| abstract void | write(Writer out,
     Document doc,
     int pos,
     int len)Writes content from a document to the given stream
 in a format appropriate for this kind of content handler. |

Since actual text editing is unicode based, this would generally be the preferred way to read in the data. Some types of content are stored in an 8-bit form however, and will favor the InputStream.
