README

negotiate

Negotiate is a simple HTTP content type negotiation package. Since its core dependency doesn't tag releases, it checks in vendor/ and doesn't leak any vendored types.

Installation

go get -u github.com/akshayjshah/vendor

Current Status

Stable. Once https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19307 is resolved, I'll stop maintaining this package.

Functions

func ContentType

func ContentType(r *http.Request, offers []string) (string, error)

ContentType returns the best offered content type for the request's Accept header. Offers must include both a MIME type and subtype, e.g. text/plain or image/png. If two offers match with equal weight and specificity, then the offer earlier in the list is preferred. If no offers match, an error is returned.
