  - parse
```
public static MediaType parse(String string)
```
    Parses the given string to a media type. The string is expected to be of the form "type/subtype(; parameter=...)*" as defined in RFC 2045, though we also handle "charset=xxx; type/subtype" for broken web servers.
    
    Parameters:
    string - media type string to be parsed
    
    Returns:
    parsed media type, or null if parsing fails
  - getBaseType
```

```
    Returns the base form of the MediaType, excluding any parameters, such as "text/plain" for "text/plain; charset=utf-8"
  - getType
```
public String getType()
```
    Return the Type of the MediaType, such as "text" for "text/plain"

```
public boolean hasParameters()
```
    Checks whether this media type contains parameters.
    
    Returns:
    true if this type has one or more parameters, false otherwise

    Apache Tika 0.8
  - getParameters
```
public Map<String,String> getParameters()
```
    Returns an immutable sorted map of the parameters of this media type. The parameter names are guaranteed to be trimmed and in lower case.
    
    Returns:
    sorted map of parameters
