telestes

Welcome!

Telestes provides an implementation of Media Types; also formerly known as MIME Types. This crate emphasizes performance and correctness; as well as the ability to parse in a const context. It is no_std-enabled.

To get started, check out the MediaType and Essence types.

Optional Features

  • alloc - enables the use of types in the alloc crate
  • serde - enables serialization/deserialization using serde
  • db - enables the const database of IANA Media Types

Terminology

The terminology of this crate should follow the terminology broadly used in the RFCs or other notable documentation; with one exception. Since the type terminology of a Media Type collides with the Rust type keyword, we have chosen the terms genus and species to replace the terms for type and subtype, respectively.

Example

use telestes::MediaType;

let mt = MediaType::new("text/plain; charset=UTF-8").unwrap();
assert_eq!(mt, "text/plain; charset=UTF-8");
assert_eq!(mt.essence(), "text/plain");
assert_eq!(mt.essence().genus(), "text");
assert_eq!(mt.essence().species(), "plain");
assert_eq!(mt.parameters().get("charset"), Some("UTF-8"));

Naming

This crate is named after the character Telestes from the Greek play Seven Against Thebes by Aeschylus. This character is possibly history's first recorded pantomime.
