module MIME::Types

Overview

MIME::Types is a registry of MIME types. It is both a class (created with MIME::Types.new) and a default registry (loaded automatically or through interactions with MIME::Types.[] and MIME::Types.type_for).

The Default mime-types Registry

The default mime-types registry is loaded automatically when the library is required (require "mime/types").

Usage

require "mime/types"

plaintext = MIME::Types["text/plain"]
print plaintext.media_type # => "text'
print plaintext.sub_type   # => "plain"

puts plaintext.extensions.join(" ") # => "asc txt c cc h hh cpp"

puts plaintext.encoding                    # => 8bit
puts plaintext.binary?                     # => false
puts plaintext.ascii?                      # => true
puts plaintext.obsolete?                   # => false
puts plaintext.registered?                 # => true
puts plaintext == "text/plain"             # => true
puts MIME::Type.simplified("x-appl/x-zip") # => "appl/zip"
