An Internet media type,[1] originally called a MIME type after MIME and sometimes a Content-type after the name of a header in several protocols whose value is such a type, is a two-part identifier for file formats on the Internet. Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions ( MIME) is an Internet standard that extends the format of e-mail to support text in Character A file format is a particular way to encode information for storage in a Computer file. The Internet is a global system of interconnected Computer networks The identifiers were originally defined in RFC 2046 for use in e-mail sent through SMTP, but their use has expanded to other protocols such as HTTP and SIP. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol ( SMTP) is a De facto standard for electronic mail (e-mail transmissions across the Internet. Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( HTTP) is a Communications protocol for the transfer of information on the Internet. The Session Initiation Protocol ( SIP) is a signalling protocol widely used for setting up and tearing down Multimedia Communication sessions

A media type is composed of at least two parts: a type, a subtype, and one or more optional parameters. For example, subtypes of text type have an optional charset parameter that can be included to indicate the character encoding, and subtypes of multipart type often define a boundary between parts. A character encoding consists of a code that pairs a sequence of characters from a given character set (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Code page

Types or subtypes that begin with "x-" are nonstandard -- they cannot be registered with IANA. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA is the entity that oversees global IP address allocation, DNS root zone management, media types [2] Subtypes that begin with vnd. are vendor-specific. [3]
