+# 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.
