Content negotiation styles
We use CN style to denote a particular manner or technique by which the
content negotiation process is carried out. This includes how the negotiation
is conducted and which of the content negotiation parties makes the choice of
which variant to select. In our study, we identified six CN styles:
proactive, reactive, transparent, active,
conditional, adaptive.
In each of the styles cited below you will find:
- A description of the style.
-
An example of content negotiation using that style.
-
A list of advantages and disadvantages of that
style.
-
Relevant references where the style was introduced or
