What is mime-db?

The mime-db package is a comprehensive database of MIME types based on the mime-types npm package. It provides an API to access MIME type definitions, which are compiled from various sources. It is often used to look up MIME types based on file extensions or vice versa.

What are mime-db's main functionalities?

Lookup MIME type for a given file extension

This feature allows you to get the MIME type for a specific file extension. In the code sample, we are looking up the MIME type for JSON files.

const mimeDb = require('mime-db');
const mimeType = mimeDb['json'].type;

Get extensions for a given MIME type

This feature enables you to retrieve the file extensions associated with a particular MIME type. In the code sample, we are getting the extensions for 'application/json'.

const mimeDb = require('mime-db');
const extensions = mimeDb['application/json'].extensions;

Access MIME type data

This feature provides access to the data associated with a specific MIME type, including the source of the information, charset, and whether it's compressible. The code sample demonstrates how to access the data for 'application/json'.

const mimeDb = require('mime-db');
const mimeData = mimeDb['application/json'];
