HTTP Quality Thousandths Formatter
Format integer quality thousandths as a minimal RFC qvalue spelling between zero and one.
Description
Format integer quality thousandths as a minimal RFC qvalue spelling between zero and one.
HTTP quality values use at most three decimal places. Integer thousandths can be formatted without floating-point spelling artifacts.
When to use this tool
Format integer quality thousandths as a minimal RFC qvalue spelling between zero and one.
- Prepare the supplied thousandths fields for this operation.
- Compare the complete example with the representation used by your own input before carrying the result into another step.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter thousandths. Use the exact text syntax, units and index conventions explained below.
- Run the tool. If input validation fails, correct the supplied fields before interpreting any result.
- Read result.value. Interpret false, null and empty lists using the distinctions below; they can be valid outputs.
Require thousandths as an integer from 0 to 1,000. Emit 0 or 1 at the endpoints; otherwise emit a three-place fractional spelling and remove trailing zeros.1
| Input field | Meaning and representation | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| thousandths | thousandths. | Integer from 0 to 1000 inclusive |
| Output field | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| result | Object containing the named outputs below. |
| result.value | The value value under the stated formula or text convention. |
{
"input": {
"thousandths": 125
},
"output": {
"result": {
"value": "0.125"
}
}
} Limitations and assumptions
- No q= prefix, header item or preference ordering is added. Only a qvalue token is formatted.
- Every declared top-level field is required and unexpected fields are rejected. Numeric inputs must be finite; ordinary text fields are bounded to 8,192 UTF-16 code units, with tighter operation-specific limits where stated.
- String lists have at most 128 entries of at most 128 code units; matrices have at most 128 rows and columns. Larger numeric lists and parsed JSON have separate bounded budgets. Nonfinite results and excessively large serialized outputs are rejected.
- Indexes are zero-based and spans have an exclusive end unless explicitly stated otherwise. A valid false, null or empty-list result is distinct from malformed input.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use a complete protocol or URL parser when interpreting a whole message or address. Preserve raw spelling when required and distinguish HTTP token grammar, URL path normalization and form-style query decoding.
