								Higher level content negotiation based on [negotiator](https://www.npmjs.com/package/negotiator).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Extracted from [koa](https://www.npmjs.com/package/koa) for general use.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								In addition to negotiator, it allows:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- Allows types as an array or arguments list, ie `(['text/html', 'application/json'])`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  as well as `('text/html', 'application/json')`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- Allows type shorthands such as `json`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- Returns `false` when no types match
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- Treats non-existent headers as `*`
							 | 
						||
|

								## Installation
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the

| 
								 | 
							
								[npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								[`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally):

								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```sh
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ npm install accepts
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
|

								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||

							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 |

								## Examples
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Simple type negotiation
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This simple example shows how to use `accepts` to return a different typed
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								respond body based on what the client wants to accept. The server lists it's
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								preferences in order and will get back the best match between the client and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								server.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var accepts = require('accepts')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var http = require('http')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								function app (req, res) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  var accept = accepts(req)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  // the order of this list is significant; should be server preferred order
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  switch (accept.type(['json', 'html'])) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    case 'json':
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      res.write('{"hello":"world!"}')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      break
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    case 'html':
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      res.write('<b>hello, world!</b>')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      break
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    default:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      // the fallback is text/plain, so no need to specify it above
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      res.write('hello, world!')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								      break
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  res.end()
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								http.createServer(app).listen(3000)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								You can test this out with the cURL program:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```sh
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								curl -I -H'Accept: text/html' http://localhost:3000/
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
|
