Utility class for parsing headers that accept q values
Author:Stuart Douglas
/** * Utility class for parsing headers that accept q values * * @author Stuart Douglas */
public class QValueParser { private QValueParser() { }
Parses a set of headers that take q values to determine the most preferred one. It returns the result in the form of a sorted list of list, with every element in the list having the same q value. This means the highest priority items are at the front of the list. The container should use its own internal preferred ordering to determinately pick the correct item to use
Params:
  • headers – The headers
Returns:The q value results
