..it's one of the reasons why I don't like pulling into a spot next to a car that had parked ahead of me.
It was the only open spot left.
I was watching to make sure he wasnt opening his door as I pulled in. He threw the door open at the last minute. Like slung the door open. Not opening the door with a hand on the handle.
You can see I tried to leave plenty of room.

Why wasn't the door opener of Car A looking to see if it was clear to open the door?
Driver of Car A at fault.

I thought that was your car at first

It's Car A's fault for swinging the door OVER the line if in fact Car B was in fact inside the boundaries of his/her spot.

And I wouldn't classify this as a "traffic accident", don't get too ahead of yourself there bud.
You got body side moulding on your car?

Even though there's technically no one at fault (as others have mentioned), it's definitely Car A's "fault". You have to be responsible for what your door does. If it hits the car next to you, you either parked too close to the line, or didn't pay attention when it swung open.
This. It doesn't matter whether B is stopped or not, driver A should have been paying attention.

Whoever made that sketch is at fault. Car A should be Car B. A comes before B
It's called reading, you know, top to bottom, left to right. A group of words together is called a sentence. Take Tylenol for any headaches, Midol for any cramps.

This. I've been burned by this 3 times in my life so far.

Agreed. My thought is A is primary, but B should have been looking like hell for the door to fling open.
and when said door flings open into the side of your car, what was the proper evasive maneuver?

Car B owner, upon coming to a stop, should get out of the car and pull driver of Car A out behind the cars and commence to stomp his arse. I can't stand dumbasses who have no consideration for anyone else or their surroundings. They only learn in one language:

The only real answer: who do I represent?
Exactly
Assuming the facts the OP presented are accurate, then I would suspect Car A would be at fault. Likely, Car A had a duty to ensure that he could perform the act of opening his door without causing damage to another's person or property. As far as I know, there is no duty for Car B to wait to enter the parking space until the person in Car A has opened his door and exited the vehicle. The exception may be if Car B observed the person in Car A open his door prior to Car B turning into the parking space.
