MIMEtípusokkal

MIMEtípusokkal, more commonly known as MIME types, are a standardized way of identifying the type and format of a file or data transmitted over the internet. The Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standard, originally developed for email, has become fundamental for the World Wide Web and other internet protocols. MIME types consist of a type and a subtype, separated by a forward slash, for example, text/html or image/jpeg. The type broadly categorizes the data, such as text, image, audio, video, or application. The subtype provides more specific information about the format within that category. For instance, within the text type, subtypes like html, plain, and css indicate different text-based formats. Similarly, image/png and image/gif specify different image file formats. Web browsers and servers use MIME types to determine how to handle incoming data. When a browser receives a file, it inspects its MIME type to know whether to display it directly (like an HTML page or an image), download it, or process it in some other way. Servers also use MIME types to ensure they are sending the correct file format to the client. This system allows for a wide variety of data to be transmitted and interpreted correctly across different systems and applications.
