  Simple RFC 6838 media type parser
  
  ## Installation
  
  ```sh
  $ npm install media-typer
  ```
  
  ## API
  
  ```js
  var typer = require('media-typer')
  ```
  
  ### typer.parse(string)
  
  ```js
  var obj = typer.parse('image/svg+xml; charset=utf-8')
  ```
  
  Parse a media type string. This will return an object with the following
  properties (examples are shown for the string `'image/svg+xml; charset=utf-8'`):
  
   - `type`: The type of the media type (always lower case). Example: `'image'`
  
   - `subtype`: The subtype of the media type (always lower case). Example: `'svg'`
  
   - `suffix`: The suffix of the media type (always lower case). Example: `'xml'`
  
   - `parameters`: An object of the parameters in the media type (name of parameter always lower case). Example: `{charset: 'utf-8'}`
  
  ### typer.parse(req)
  
  ```js
  var obj = typer.parse(req)
  ```
  
  Parse the `content-type` header from the given `req`. Short-cut for
  `typer.parse(req.headers['content-type'])`.
  
  ### typer.parse(res)
  
  ```js
  var obj = typer.parse(res)
  ```
  
  Parse the `content-type` header set on the given `res`. Short-cut for
  `typer.parse(res.getHeader('content-type'))`.
  
  ### typer.format(obj)
  
  ```js
  var obj = typer.format({type: 'image', subtype: 'svg', suffix: 'xml'})
  ```
  
  Format an object into a media type string. This will return a string of the
  mime type for the given object. For the properties of the object, see the
  documentation for `typer.parse(string)`.
