Documentation

class Match a where

Defines methods for a type whose values can be matched against each other in terms of a HTTP media header.

This allows functions to work on both the standard Accept header and others such as Accept-Language that still may use quality values.

Methods

matches :: a -> a -> Bool

Evaluates whether either the left argument matches the right one (order may be important).

moreSpecificThan :: a -> a -> Bool

Evaluates whether the left argument is more specific than the right.

Instances

Match ByteString

Match MediaType

mostSpecific :: Match a => a -> a -> a

Evaluates to whichever argument is more specific. Left biased.
