sealed abstract class MediaType extends javadsl.model.MediaType with LazyValueBytesRenderable with WithQValue[MediaRange]

A MediaType describes the type of the content of an HTTP message entity.

While knowledge of the MediaType alone suffices for being able to properly interpret binary content this is not generally the case for non-binary (i.e. character-based) content, which also requires the definition of a specific character encoding (HttpCharset). Therefore MediaType instances are frequently encountered as a member of a ContentType, which groups a MediaType with a potentially required HttpCharset to hold everything required for being able to interpret an HttpEntity.

MediaTypes come in three basic forms:

1. Binary: These do not need an additional HttpCharset to be able to form a ContentType. Therefore they can be implicitly converted to the latter.

2. WithOpenCharset: Most character-based MediaTypes are of this form, which can be combined with all HttpCharset instances to form a ContentType.

3. WithFixedCharset: Some character-based MediaTypes prescribe a single, clearly defined charset and as such, similarly to binary MediaTypes, do not require the addition of an HttpCharset instances to form a ContentType. The most prominent example is probably application/json which must always be UTF-8 encoded. Like binary MediaTypes WithFixedCharset types can be implicitly converted to a ContentType.
