public final class ContentType
extends Object

Content (media) type.

To create a new content type application/json without character set parameter:

 ContentType ct = new ContentType("application", "json");

 // Prints out "application/json"
 System.out.println(ct.toString());

With a character set parameter application/json; charset=UTF-8:

 ContentType ct = new ContentType("application", "json", new ContentType.Parameter("charset", "UTF-8"));

 // Prints out "application/json; charset=UTF-8"
 System.out.println(ct.toString());

To parse a content type:

 try {
         ContentType.parse("application/json; charset=UTF-8");
 } catch (java.text.ParseException e) {
         System.err.println(e.getMessage());
 }

See RFC 2045, section 5.1.

See RFC 6838, section 4.2.8.
