MIME Format Lookup

JSON →
library 2.0.2 ·javascript
verified Jun 17, 2026

The `mime-format` library provides a utility for disambiguating the base format of HTTP response bodies based on their `Content-Type` header. It aims to resolve ambiguities, especially between `text/*` and `application/*` types, by maintaining an internal database of textual content types served under `application/*` (e.g., `application/json` is classified as `text`). The current stable version is 2.0.2, with releases appearing to be on an as-needed basis, indicated by the significant gap between v0.2.0 and v2.0.0. Key differentiators include its explicit handling of `application/*` types that are textual in nature, and its ability to guess or mark content types as unknown if they are not in its database, providing granular control over content interpretation.
