The binary-extensions npm package provides a list of binary file extensions. This package can be used to check if a file extension is generally considered to be binary. It is useful when handling file uploads, file processing, or any other file-related operations where knowing if a file is binary or text can be crucial.
Check if an extension is binary
This code checks if the 'png' extension is included in the list of binary extensions, indicating that files with this extension are binary.
const binaryExtensions = require('binary-extensions');
if (binaryExtensions.includes('png')) {
console.log('The file extension is binary.');
} else {
console.log('The file extension is not binary.');
}This package provides a function to check if a given path is a binary file path. It is similar to binary-extensions but works with full file paths instead of just extensions.
As the counterpart to binary-extensions, text-extensions provides a list of text file extensions. It can be used to determine if a file extension is generally considered to be text, which is the opposite use case of binary-extensions.
