MimeMapping

Dictionary generated from the Apache Server mime.types file and the H5BP nginx mime.types file.

The Apache entries are used over others when collisions are found since they are from the official IANA registery. The others tend to use what works best for browsers or de facto standards (maybe we should use those ones instead, idk).

The lib is just a literal C# Dictionary<string, string> with over 1000 entries, and a helper method that can be passed a file path.

Example Usage

string myFile = "myimage.jpg";
string mimeType = MimeMapping.MimeUtility.GetMimeMapping(myFile);
Console.WriteLine(mimeType); // output: image/jpeg

string randomFile = "data.asdf";
string mimeType = MimeMapping.MimeUtility.GetMimeMapping(randomFile);
Console.WriteLine(mimeType); // output: application/octet-stream

string rawExtension = "json";
string mimeType = MimeMapping.MimeUtility.GetMimeMapping(rawExtension);
Console.WriteLine(mimeType); // output: application/json


// List all types..
foreach(var kp in MimeMapping.MimeTypes.TypeMap)
{
	Console.WriteLine($"File extension: {kp.Key}, mime string: {kp.Value}");
}
