Interface MimeType

All Superinterfaces:
Serializable
public interface MimeType extends Serializable
This class represents a simple immutable MIME type object. A mime type is made up of two parts <base type>/<sub type>. The base type can be something like application or text and the the sub type can be something like xml or plain.
Both the base type and sub type can also be the wild card * such as */* and text/*. Note, if the base type is the wild card then the sub type must also be a wild card.
