# Media

## Overview

The `Media` class represents binary data associated with a MIME type and provides various methods to manage and manipulate this data. It stores media content as a blob and offers functionality for retrieving and updating the media content, such as using the `getMediaData()` function to lazily load the media or `makeBlobPermanent()` to make the data persistent. The class also allows for setting and getting properties like `name` and `mime type` through the `setName()` and `getMimeType()` functions, ensuring proper i dentification of the media.

Additionally, the `Media` class supports encapsulation levels with `setEncapsulation()` and `getEncapsulation()`, which help define how the media is exposed in different environments. The class also includes methods for handling deprecation, allowing you to track and manage deprecated media through `getDeprecated()` and `setDeprecated()`.

By utilizing these features, the `Media` class provides support for managing media data, making it easy to handle in the Servoy environment, whether it is for temporary usage or permanent storage with a defined MIME type.
