Usage

extern crate mime;

// common types are constants
let text = mime::TEXT_PLAIN;

// deconstruct Mimes to match on them
match (text.type_(), text.subtype()) {
    (mime::TEXT, mime::PLAIN) => {
        // plain text!
    },
    (mime::TEXT, _) => {
        // structured text!
    },
    _ => {
        // not text!
    }
}

lib.rs:

Mime

Mime is now Media Type, technically, but Mime is more immediately understandable, so the main type here is Mime.

What is Mime?

Example mime string: text/plain

let plain_text: mime::Mime = "text/plain".parse().unwrap();
assert_eq!(plain_text, mime::TEXT_PLAIN);

Inspecting Mimes

let mime = mime::TEXT_PLAIN;
match (mime.type_(), mime.subtype()) {
    (mime::TEXT, mime::PLAIN) => println!("plain text!"),
    (mime::TEXT, _) => println!("structured text"),
    _ => println!("not text"),
}
