MIME Types - HTML
MIME types (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) are two-part identifiers for identifying file types and content formats. Originally defined in RFC 2045 in 1996 for specifying email attachment formats, they are now used in a wide range of contexts including HTTP communications, HTML documents, and operating systems. IANA maintains the official registry, with over 1000 MIME types registered across 11 top-level categories such as application, audio, image, text, and video.
