public class MimeTypeParser
extends Object

MIME-Type Parser

This class provides basic functions for handling mime-types. It can handle matching mime-types against a list of media-ranges. See section 14.1 of the HTTP specification [RFC 2616] for a complete explanation.

A port to Java of Joe Gregorio's MIME-Type Parser:

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static com.google.common.net.MediaType	bestMatchForAcceptHeader(List<String> supportedRepresentations, String header) Takes a list of supportedRepresentations mime-types and finds the best match for all the media-ranges listed in header.
protected static MimeTypeParser.FitnessAndQuality	fitnessAndQualityParsed(String mimeType, Collection<MimeTypeParser.ParseResults> parsedRanges) Find the best match for a given mimeType against a list of media_ranges that have already been parsed by MimeParse.parseMediaRange().
protected static MimeTypeParser.ParseResults	parseMediaRange(String range) Carves up a media range and returns a ParseResults.
protected static MimeTypeParser.ParseResults	parseMimeType(String mimeType) Carves up a mime-type and returns a ParseResults object For example, the media range 'application/xhtml;q=0.5' would get parsed into: ('application', 'xhtml', {'q', '0.5'})

MimeTypeParser

public MimeTypeParser()

Method Detail

parseMimeType

protected static MimeTypeParser.ParseResults parseMimeType(String mimeType)

Carves up a mime-type and returns a ParseResults object

For example, the media range 'application/xhtml;q=0.5' would get parsed into:

('application', 'xhtml', {'q', '0.5'})

parseMediaRange

protected static MimeTypeParser.ParseResults parseMediaRange(String range)

Carves up a media range and returns a ParseResults.

For example, the media range 'application/*;q=0.5' would get parsed into:

('application', '*', {'q', '0.5'})

In addition this function also guarantees that there is a value for 'q' in the params dictionary, filling it in with a proper default if necessary.

Parameters:

range -

fitnessAndQualityParsed

protected static MimeTypeParser.FitnessAndQuality fitnessAndQualityParsed(String mimeType,
                                                                          Collection<MimeTypeParser.ParseResults> parsedRanges)

Find the best match for a given mimeType against a list of media_ranges that have already been parsed by MimeParse.parseMediaRange(). Returns a tuple of the fitness value and the value of the 'q' quality parameter of the best match, or (-1, 0) if no match was found. Just as for quality_parsed(), 'parsed_ranges' must be a list of parsed media ranges.

Parameters:

mimeType -

parsedRanges -

bestMatchForAcceptHeader

public static com.google.common.net.MediaType bestMatchForAcceptHeader(List<String> supportedRepresentations,
                                                                       String header)

Takes a list of supportedRepresentations mime-types and finds the best match for all the media-ranges listed in header. The value of header must be a string that conforms to the format of the HTTP Accept: header. The value of 'supportedRepresentations' is a list of mime-types.

MimeParse.bestMatch(Arrays.asList(new String[]{"application/xbel+xml", "text/xml"}), "text/*;q=0.5,*; q=0.1") 'text/xml'

Parameters:

supportedRepresentations -

header -

Returns:
