This module provides basic functions for parsing mime-type names and matching them against a list of media-ranges.
See section 14.1 of RFC 2616 (the HTTP specification) for a complete explanation.
The format of the JSON test data file is as follows: A top-level JSON object which has a key for each of the functions to be tested. The value corresponding to that key is a list of tests. Each test contains: the argument or arguments to the function being tested, the expected results and an optional description.
The Python tests require either Python 2.6 or the installation of the SimpleJSON library.
Installing SimpleJson can be done by: sudo easy_install simplejson
Run the tests by typing: python mimeparse_test.py
