# MIME DB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This Go package uses generators to convert [this database](https://github.com/jshttp/mime-db)
|
||
|
|
into additions to the stdlib `mime` package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since all the work is done at compile time, the MIME types end up embedded in
|
||
|
|
the binary, loading them on startup is fast, and you still get sensible results
|
||
|
|
when `/etc/mime.types` is unavailable on your platform!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This work is somewhat inspired by [mime-ext-go](https://github.com/mytrile/mime-ext-go),
|
||
|
|
which lacks the automatic generation (and so easy update) to be found in this
|
||
|
|
package.
