----------

[](#how-to-use)

- When detecting from file name.

    ```
    $mediaTypes = new PhpArrayMediaTypes();
    $mediaType = $mediaTypes->getMediaType('sample.txt');

    $mediaType->getType(); // text

    ```
- To detect from your own mapping.

    ```
    $mediaTypes = new PhpArrayMediaTypes([
       'hoge' => 'application/prs.hoge+xml'
    ]);
    $mediaType = $mediaTypes->getMediaType('sample.hoge');

    $mediaType->getType();    // application
    $mediaType->getSubType(); // prs.hoge+xml
    $mediaType->getTree();  // prs
    $mediaType->getSuffix();  // xml

    ```
- When analyzing MIME type.

    ```
    $mediaType = MediaType::fromMime('application/calendar+json; charset=utf-8');

    $mediaType->getType();    // application
    $mediaType->getSubType(); // calendar+json
    $mediaType->getSuffix();  // json
    $mediaType->getParameter('charset')->getValue(); // utf-8

    ```
- When detecting from a file.

    ```
    $mediaType = MediaType::fromFile('sample.json');

    $mediaType->getType();    // text
    $mediaType->getSubType(); // plain

    ```
