Model to validate media types (follows [RFC6838](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6838)).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer install innmind/media-type
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Innmind\MediaType\MediaType;

$type = MediaType::of('application/json+some-extension; charset=utf-8');
$type->topLevel(); // application
$type->subType(); // json
$type->suffix(); // some-extension
$type->parameters()->first()->name(); // charset
$type->parameters()->first()->value(); // utf-8
$type->toString(); // application/json+some-extension; charset=utf-8
```

If the values are incorrect it will throw an exception. Or you can use `MediaType::maybe()` that will return an instance of `Innmind\Immutable\Maybe`.
