Content negotiation utilities for every web framework.

HTTP Media Type

Nego Provides abstracted HTTP media type.

Main Type & Sub Type

MediaType class parses raw media type string and split it into main/sub type.

>>> from nego import MediaType
>>> MediaType('text/html')
nego.MediaType('text/html')
>>> MediaType('text/html').main_type
'text'
>>> MediaType('text/html').sub_type
'html'
>>> MediaType('application', 'json')
nego.MediaType('application/json')

Parameters

MediaType class also parses parameters.

>>> MediaType('application/json; charset=utf-8')
nego.MediaType('application/json; charset=utf-8')
>>> MediaType('application/json; charset=utf-8').params
{'charset': 'utf-8'}
>>> MediaType('application', 'json', dict(charset='utf-8'))
nego.MediaType('application/json; charset=utf-8')
>>> MediaType('text/html; q=0.8').quality
0.8

Wildcard & Matching

You can use wildcard for media type.

>>> MediaType('text/html') in MediaType('text/*')
True
>>> MediaType('text/*') in MediaType('text/html')
False
>>> MediaType('text/html') in MediaType('text/html')
True
>>> MediaType('text/html') in MediaType('application/*')
False
>>> MediaType('text/*') in MediaType('*/*')
True

Content Negotiation

Nego provides content negotiation by function nego.media_type.choose_acceptable_media_type.

>>> from nego.media_type import choose_acceptable_media_type
>>> jpeg_type = MediaType('image/jpeg')
>>> png_type = MediaType('image/png')
>>> html_type = MediaType('text/html; q=0.9')
>>> json_type = MediaType('application/json; q=0.8')
>>> choose_acceptable_media_type(
...     [png_type, jpeg_type],
...     [MediaType('text/html'), MediaType('application/*'),
...      MediaType('image/*')]
... )
nego.MediaType('image/png')
>>> choose_acceptable_media_type(
...     [json_type, html_type],
...     [MediaType('text/html'), MediaType('application/*')]
... )
nego.MediaType('text/html; q=0.9')

Renderer

Renderer renders a data into specific type of data. For example, you can make a renderer that renders a data into json like

import json

from nego import Renderer

class JSONRenderer(Renderer):
    __media_types__ = ['application/json']
    def render(self, data):
        return json.dumps(data)

And also plain text renderer like

class TextRenderer(Renderer):
    __media_types__ = ['text/plain']
    def render(self, data):
        return str(data)

Content Negotiation

Nego also provides content negotiation using renderer by function nego.renderer.best_renderer.

>>> json_renderer = JSONRenderer()
>>> text_renderer = TextRenderer())
>>> renderers = [json_renderer, text_renderer]
>>> accept = 'application/json;q=0.9, text/plain;q=0.7'
>>> acceptable_types = acceptable_media_types(accept)
>>> renderer, media_type = best_renderer(acceptable_types, renderers)
>>> renderer
json_renderer
>>> media_type
nego.MediaType('application/json')
>>> renderer.render(dict(foo='bar'))
'{"foo": "bar"}'

Using with Web Frameworks

Tornado

You can use Nego with tornado by making mixin.

class NegoMixin(object):
    renderers = [JSONRenderer(), TextRenderer()]

    def nego(self, obj):
        accept = self.request.headers.get('Accept', '*/*')
        acceptable_types = acceptable_media_types(accept)
        renderer, media_type = best_renderer(acceptable_types, renderers)
        body = renderer.render(obj)
        self.set_header('Content-Type', str(media_type))
        self.write(body)
