• type: The type of the media type (always lower case). Example: 'image'

• subtype: The subtype of the media type (always lower case). Example: 'svg'

• suffix: The suffix of the media type (always lower case). Example: 'xml'

• parameters: An object of the parameters in the media type (name of parameter always lower case). Example: {charset: 'utf-8'}

typer.parse(req)

var obj = typer.parse(req)

Parse the content-type header from the given req. Short-cut for typer.parse(req.headers['content-type']).

typer.parse(res)

var obj = typer.parse(res)

Parse the content-type header set on the given res. Short-cut for typer.parse(res.getHeader('content-type')).

typer.format(obj)

var obj = typer.format({type: 'image', subtype: 'svg', suffix: 'xml'})

Format an object into a media type string. This will return a string of the mime type for the given object. For the properties of the object, see the documentation for typer.parse(string).
