Questions
What is a MIME type?
A MIME type (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a standardized label that identifies the type and format of a file or data stream. It consists of a type and subtype separated by a slash, such as text/html or application/json.
Where are MIME types used?
MIME types are used in HTTP Content-Type headers, file upload forms, email attachments, and browser content negotiation to indicate the format of the data being transmitted.
What is the correct MIME type for JSON?
The correct MIME type for JSON is application/json. Using text/plain or text/json may work in some cases but is not standards-compliant and can cause issues with strict parsers.
How do I find the MIME type for a file extension?
Use the search field to type a file extension like ".pdf" or ".csv" and the reference will show the corresponding MIME type. You can also search by MIME type to find associated extensions.
