negotiation

negotiation

negotiation is a standalone library that allows you to implement content negotiation in your application, whatever framework you use. This provides specific functions to negotiate Accept and Accept-Language headers, although any kind of header can be parsed.

Status

This project is DEPRECATED and should NOT be used.

If someone magically appears and wants to maintain this project, I'll gladly give access to this repository.

Usage

Language negotiation

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "github.com/K-Phoen/negotiation"
)

func main() {
  language, err := negotiation.NegotiateLanguage("da, en-gb;q=0.8, en;q=0.7", []string{"es", "fr", "en"})

  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Unable to negotiate the language")
  }

  fmt.Println("Negotiated language: ", language.Value) // outputs: "Negotiated language: en"
}

Format negotiation

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "github.com/K-Phoen/negotiation"
)

func main() {
  negotiation.RegisterFormat("html", []string{"text/html", "application/xhtml+xml"})
  format, err := negotiation.NegotiateAccept("application/rdf+xml;q=0.5,text/html;q=.3", []string{"html", "application/xml"})

  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Unable to negotiate the format")
  }

  fmt.Println("Negotiated format: " + format.Name + " (" + format.Value + ")") // outputs: "Negotiated format: html (text/html)"
}
