Class MIMEParse


  • 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 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
