Simple RFC 6838 media type manipulation and validation library.

This module will parse a given media type into its component parts, like type, subtype, and suffix. A formatter is also provided to put them back together and the two can be combined to normalize media types into a canonical form.

Installation

$ composer install keven/media-type

API

use Keven\MediaType\MediaType;

Parsing

$mediaType = MediaType::create('application/api+json');
$mediaType->getType(); // "application"
$mediaType->getTree(); // "vnd"
$mediaType->getSubtype(); // "api"
$mediaType->getsuffix(); // "json"
$mediaType->getParameters(); // ["charset" => "utf-8"]
$mediaType->hasParameter('charset'); // true
$mediaType->getParameter('charset'); // "utf-8"

Parse a media type string. This will return an object with the following properties (examples are shown for the string 'image/vnd.svg+xml; charset=utf-8'):

• type: The type of the media type (always lower case). Example: 'image'

• subtype: The subtype of the media type (always lower case). Example: 'svg'

• tree: The tree (~vendor) of the media type (always lower case). Example: 'vnd'

• suffix: The suffix of the media type (always lower case). Example: 'xml'

• parameters: The parameters added to the end of the media type. Exemple: ['charset' => 'utf-8']

• If the given type string is invalid, then a InvalidMediaTypeException is thrown.

Formatting

$mediaType = new MediaType('image', 'svg', 'vnd', 'xml');
echo (string) $mediaType; // "image/vnd.svg+xml"

Format an object into a media type string. This will return a string of the mime type for the given object.

Validation

MediaType::isValid('app/vnd.api+json; charset=utf-8'); // true (it's well formatted...)
MediaType::isValid('app/vnd.api+json; charset=utf-8', true); // false (...but the type is not a valid IANA type)
MediaType::create('unvalid media type'); // throws InvalidMediaTypeException

Validate a media type string. This will return true if the string is a well- formatted media type, or false otherwise.

You can also assert if the type is valid by passing a second parameter.
