-
- This module provides basic functions for handling mime-types. It can
- handle matching mime-types against a list of media-ranges. See section
- 5.3.2 of the HTTP 1.1 Semantics and Content specification [RFC 7231] for
- a complete explanation: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-5.3.2
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Use **pip**:
-
- .. code-block:: sh
-
- $ pip install python-mimeparse
-
- It supports Python 2.7 - 3.5 and PyPy.
-
- Functions
- ---------
-
- **parse_mime_type()**
-
- Parses a mime-type into its component parts.
-
- **parse_media_range()**
-
- Media-ranges are mime-types with wild-cards and a "q" quality parameter.
-
- **quality()**
-
- Determines the quality ("q") of a mime-type when compared against a list of
- media-ranges.
-
- **quality_parsed()**
-
- Just like ``quality()`` except the second parameter must be pre-parsed.
-
- **best_match()**
-
- Choose the mime-type with the highest quality ("q") from a list of candidates.
-
- Testing
- -------
-
- Run the tests by typing: ``python mimeparse_test.py``. The tests require Python 2.6.
-
- To make sure that the package works in all the supported environments, you can
- run **tox** tests:
-
- .. code-block:: sh
-
- $ pip install tox
- $ tox
-
- The format of the JSON test data file is as follows: A top-level JSON object
- which has a key for each of the functions to be tested. The value corresponding
- to that key is a list of tests. Each test contains: the argument or arguments
- to the function being tested, the expected results and an optional description.
