mimedb

README

go-mimedb

go-mimedb is a drop-in replacement for the mime package that is independent of external files.

Motivation

The mime package uses the local system's MIME-info database or mime.types file(s).

/usr/local/share/mime/globs2
/usr/share/mime/globs2
/etc/mime.types
/etc/apache2/mime.types
/etc/apache/mime.types

Therefore, it returns different results depending on the execution environment.

go-mimedb has a large build-in table and does not depend on these files.

Data Source of MIME-info database

MIME-info database comes from jshttp/mime-db.
