public final class MIMEParse
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. http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.1 A port to Java of Joe Gregorio's MIME-Type Parser: http://code.google.com/p/mimeparse/ Ported by Tom Zellman.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static String	bestMatch(List<String> supported, String header) Takes a list of supported mime-types and finds the best match for all the media-ranges listed in header.
static String	bestMatch(String header)
protected static MIMEParse.FitnessAndQuality	fitnessAndQualityParsed(String mimeType, Collection<MIMEParse.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 MIMEParse.ParseResults	parseMediaRange(String range) Carves up a media range and returns a ParseResults.
protected static MIMEParse.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'})
static float	quality(String mimeType, String ranges) Returns the quality 'q' of a mime-type when compared against the mediaRanges in ranges.
protected static float	qualityParsed(String mimeType, Collection<MIMEParse.ParseResults> parsedRanges) Find the best match for a given mime-type against a list of ranges that have already been parsed by parseMediaRange().
static void	register(String mimeType) Register mimeType in collection

Method Detail

register

public static void register(String mimeType)

Register mimeType in collection

Parameters:

mimeType -

parseMimeType

protected static MIMEParse.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'})

Parameters:

mimeType -

Returns:

parseMediaRange

protected static MIMEParse.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 -

Returns:

fitnessAndQualityParsed

protected static MIMEParse.FitnessAndQuality fitnessAndQualityParsed(String mimeType,
                                                                     Collection<MIMEParse.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 -

Returns:

qualityParsed

protected static float qualityParsed(String mimeType,
                                     Collection<MIMEParse.ParseResults> parsedRanges)

Find the best match for a given mime-type against a list of ranges that have already been parsed by parseMediaRange(). Returns the 'q' quality parameter of the best match, 0 if no match was found. This function bahaves the same as quality() except that 'parsed_ranges' must be a list of parsed media ranges.

Parameters:

mimeType -

parsedRanges -

Returns:

quality

public static float quality(String mimeType,
                            String ranges)

Returns the quality 'q' of a mime-type when compared against the mediaRanges in ranges. For example:

Parameters:

mimeType -

ranges -

Returns:

bestMatch

public static String bestMatch(List<String> supported,
                               String header)
                        throws NoRegisteredMimeTypesException

Takes a list of supported 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 'supported' 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:

supported -

header -

Returns:

Throws:

NoRegisteredMimeTypesException

bestMatch

public static String bestMatch(String header)
                        throws NoRegisteredMimeTypesException

Parameters:

header -

Returns:

Throws:

NoRegisteredMimeTypesException
