Overview ¶
Package mimetype uses magic number signatures to detect the MIME type of a file.
File formats are stored in a hierarchy with application/octet-stream at its root. For example, the hierarchy for HTML format is application/octet-stream -> text/plain -> text/html.

Functions ¶
func EqualsAny ¶
EqualsAny reports whether s MIME type is equal to any MIME type in mimes. MIME type equality test is done on the "type/subtype" section, ignores any optional MIME parameters, ignores any leading and trailing whitespace, and is case insensitive.
func Extend ¶
func Extend(detector func(raw []byte, limit uint32) bool, mime, extension string, aliases ...string)
Extend adds detection for other file formats. It is equivalent to calling Extend() on the root mime type "application/octet-stream".
func SetLimit ¶
func SetLimit(limit uint32)
SetLimit sets the maximum number of bytes read from input when detecting the MIME type. Increasing the limit provides better detection for file formats which store their magical numbers towards the end of the file: docx, pptx, xlsx, etc. During detection data is read in a single block of size limit, i.e. it is not buffered. A limit of 0 means the whole input file will be used.
Types ¶
type MIME ¶
type MIME struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
MIME struct holds information about a file format: the string representation of the MIME type, the extension and the parent file format.
func Detect ¶
Detect returns the MIME type found from the provided byte slice.
The result is always a valid MIME type, with application/octet-stream returned when identification failed.
func DetectFile ¶
DetectFile returns the MIME type of the provided file.
The result is always a valid MIME type, with application/octet-stream returned when identification failed with or without an error. Any error returned is related to the opening and reading from the input file.
func DetectReader ¶
DetectReader returns the MIME type of the provided reader.
The result is always a valid MIME type, with application/octet-stream returned when identification failed with or without an error. Any error returned is related to the reading from the input reader.
DetectReader assumes the reader offset is at the start. If the input is an io.ReadSeeker you previously read from, it should be rewinded before detection:
reader.Seek(0, io.SeekStart)
func Lookup ¶
Lookup finds a MIME object by its string representation. The representation can be the main mime type, or any of its aliases.
func (*MIME) Extend ¶
func (m *MIME) Extend(detector func(raw []byte, limit uint32) bool, mime, extension string, aliases ...string)
Extend adds detection for a sub-format. The detector is a function returning true when the raw input file satisfies a signature. The sub-format will be detected if all the detectors in the parent chain return true. The extension should include the leading dot, as in ".html".
func (*MIME) Extension ¶
Extension returns the file extension associated with the MIME type. It includes the leading dot, as in ".html". When the file format does not have an extension, the empty string is returned.
func (*MIME) Is ¶
Is checks whether this MIME type, or any of its aliases, is equal to the expected MIME type. MIME type equality test is done on the "type/subtype" section, ignores any optional MIME parameters, ignores any leading and trailing whitespace, and is case insensitive.
func (*MIME) NeedCharset ¶
func (*MIME) Parent ¶
Parent returns the parent MIME type from the hierarchy. Each MIME type has a non-nil parent, except for the root MIME type.
For example, the application/json and text/html MIME types have text/plain as their parent because they are text files who happen to contain JSON or HTML. Another example is the ZIP format, which is used as container for Microsoft Office files, EPUB files, JAR files, and others.
