Frequently Asked Questions

A MIME type (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a standard identifier used to indicate the nature and format of a document. Web servers send MIME types in the Content-Type HTTP header so browsers know how to handle the response.

Use application/json for JSON data. This is the standard MIME type recognized by all modern browsers and HTTP clients.

text/plain is for human-readable text files. application/octet-stream is the default binary type used when no more specific type is known — browsers typically offer to download files with this type rather than displaying them.
