Here is a list of MIME types, associated by type of documents, ordered by their common extensions.
Two primary MIME types are important for the role of default types:
text/plain
is the default value for textual files. A textual file should be human-readable and must not contain binary data.application/octet-stream
is the default value for all other cases. An unknown file type should use this type. Browsers pay a particular care when manipulating these files, attempting to safeguard the user to prevent dangerous behaviors.IANA is the official registry of MIME media types and maintains a list of all the official MIME types. This table lists some important MIME types for the Web:
