FAQ

MIME Types Reference FAQs

Common questions about how MIME Types Reference works and what to expect from the current AiFolder implementation.

?What is a MIME type?

A MIME media type labels the nature and format of content, commonly in HTTP headers, email, uploads, and file-processing systems.

?Is a file extension enough to verify content type?

No. Extensions and declared MIME types are hints; security-sensitive systems should inspect or validate the actual file content as well.

?What MIME type is used for JSON?

The standard media type commonly used for JSON documents and API payloads is application/json.
