Hoa is a modular, extensible and
structured set of PHP libraries.

Moreover, Hoa aims at being a bridge between industrial and research worlds.

Hoa\Mime

This library allows to manipulate a MIME types database and get some related
informations about streams.

Then, to run all the test suites:

$ vendor/bin/hoa test:run

For more information, please read the contributor
guide.

Quick usage

As a quick overview, we will see how to get general and stream-related
informations.

General informations

All we need is static methods Hoa\Mime\Mime::getExtensionsFromMime to get
extensions from a type and Hoa\Mime\Mime::getMimeFromExtension to get type
from an extension:

print_r(Hoa\Mime\Mime::getExtensionsFromMime('text/html'));
/**
 * Will output:
 *     Array
 *     (
 *         [0] => html
 *         [1] => htm
 *     )
 */
var_dump(Hoa\Mime\Mime::getMimeFromExtension('webm'));
/**
 * Will output:
 *     string(10) "video/webm"
 */

By default, Hoa\Mime\Mime uses the hoa://Library/Mime/Mime.types file as
database. We can change this behavior by calling the Hoa\Mime\Mime::compute
before any computations:

Hoa\Mime\Mime::compute('/etc/mime.types');

By instanciating the Hoa\Mime\Mime class with a stream, we are able to get
some informations about the stream, such as its extension, others extensions,
type, etc. Thus:

$type = new Hoa\Mime\Mime(new Hoa\File\Read('index.html'));
var_dump(
    $type->getExtension(),
    $type->getOtherExtensions(),
    $type->getMime(),
    $type->isExperimental()
);
/**
 * Will output:
 *     string(4) "html"
 *     array(1) {
 *       [0]=>
 *       string(3) "htm"
 *     }
 *     string(9) "text/html"
 *     bool(false)
 */
