Bases: object

Media type parsing and validation

This class extends the mediatype package with validation of Media Types. You can get the map of valid types from the types_map attribute, once a first update_iana_registry() is performed.

Methods

update_iana_registry
validate	Validates Media Type

Attributes

types_map

The map of media types found in the IANA registry

types_map = []

The map of media types found in the IANA registry

classmethod validate(name, syntax=True, iana_registry=True)

Validates Media Type

This method can validate both syntax and iana registration of media types. Media types are cached for improving performance, but they can be updated at any time through the registry_update method.

Note that if both validation options (syntax and iana_registry) are set to False, this method always returns True.

Parameters:

• name – The name to be validated as media type.

• syntax – Check the name as a valid media type syntax (Default to True).

• iana_registry – Check the name is registered in the IANA Media Type registry (Default to True).

Returns:

True in case the name is valid according to the specific options (syntax and iana_registry).
