```js
availableMediaTypes = ['text/html', 'text/plain', 'application/json']
// The negotiator constructor receives a request object
negotiator = new Negotiator(request)
// Let's say Accept header is 'text/html, application/*;q=0.2, image/jpeg;q=0.8'
negotiator.mediaTypes()
// -> ['text/html', 'image/jpeg', 'application/*']
negotiator.mediaTypes(availableMediaTypes)
// -> ['text/html', 'application/json']
negotiator.mediaType(availableMediaTypes)
// -> 'text/html'
```
You can check a working example at `examples/accept.js`.
#### Methods

### Accept-Language Negotiation
```js
negotiator = new Negotiator(request)
availableLanguages = ['en', 'es', 'fr']
// Let's say Accept-Language header is 'en;q=0.8, es, pt'
negotiator.languages()
// -> ['es', 'pt', 'en']
negotiator.languages(availableLanguages)
// -> ['es', 'en']
language = negotiator.language(availableLanguages)

negotiator = new Negotiator(request)
// Let's say Accept-Charset header is 'utf-8, iso-8859-1;q=0.8, utf-7;q=0.2'
negotiator.charsets()
// -> ['utf-8', 'iso-8859-1', 'utf-7']
negotiator.charsets(availableCharsets)
// -> ['utf-8', 'iso-8859-1']
negotiator.charset(availableCharsets)
