An HTTP content negotiator for node.js written in javascript.
# Accept Negotiation
Negotiator = require('negotiator')
availableMediaTypes = ['text/html', 'text/plain', 'application/json']
// The negotiator constructor receives a request object
negotiator = new Negotiator(request)
// Let's say Accept header is 'text/html, application/*;q=0.2, image/jpeg;q=0.8'
negotiator.mediaTypes()
// -> ['text/html', 'image/jpeg', 'application/*']
negotiator.mediaTypes(availableMediaTypes)
// -> ['text/html', 'application/json']
negotiator.mediaType(availableMediaTypes)
// -> 'text/html'
You can check a working example at `examples/accept.js`.
## Methods
`mediaTypes(availableMediaTypes)`:
Returns an array of preferred media types ordered by priority from a list of available media types.
`mediaType(availableMediaType)`:
Returns the top preferred media type from a list of available media types.
# Accept-Language Negotiation
Negotiator = require('negotiator')
negotiator = new Negotiator(request)
availableLanguages = 'en', 'es', 'fr'
// Let's say Accept-Language header is 'en;q=0.8, es, pt'
negotiator.languages()
// -> ['es', 'pt', 'en']
negotiator.languages(availableLanguages)
// -> ['es', 'en']
language = negotiator.language(availableLanguages)
// -> 'es'
You can check a working example at `examples/language.js`.
## Methods
`languages(availableLanguages)`:
Returns an array of preferred languages ordered by priority from a list of available languages.
`language(availableLanguages)`:
Returns the top preferred language from a list of available languages.
# Accept-Charset Negotiation
Negotiator = require('negotiator')
availableCharsets = ['utf-8', 'iso-8859-1', 'iso-8859-5']
negotiator = new Negotiator(request)
// Let's say Accept-Charset header is 'utf-8, iso-8859-1;q=0.8, utf-7;q=0.2'
negotiator.charsets()
// -> ['utf-8', 'iso-8859-1', 'utf-7']
negotiator.charsets(availableCharsets)
// -> ['utf-8', 'iso-8859-1']
negotiator.charset(availableCharsets)
// -> 'utf-8'
You can check a working example at `examples/charset.js`.
## Methods
`charsets(availableCharsets)`:
Returns an array of preferred charsets ordered by priority from a list of available charsets.

# Accept-Encoding Negotiation
Negotiator = require('negotiator').Negotiator
availableEncodings = ['identity', 'gzip']
negotiator = new Negotiator(request)
// Let's say Accept-Encoding header is 'gzip, compress;q=0.2, identity;q=0.5'
negotiator.encodings()
// -> ['gzip', 'identity', 'compress']
negotiator.encodings(availableEncodings)
// -> ['gzip', 'identity']
negotiator.encoding(availableEncodings)
// -> 'gzip'
You can check a working example at `examples/encoding.js`.
