What are MIME Types?

MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types are a standard way of indicating the nature and format of a file. They are used by web servers to tell browsers how to handle files.

MIME Type Structure

A MIME type consists of a type and subtype separated by a slash: type/subtype. For example, image/jpeg indicates a JPEG image.

Common Use Cases

  • Web Development - Setting Content-Type headers
  • File Uploads - Validating uploaded file types
  • Email - Specifying attachment types
  • APIs - Defining request/response content types
