Install

SimpleMimeMap NuGet

Usage

using SimpleMime;

var mime = SimpleMimeMap.GetMimeType(".jpeg"); // "image/jpeg"

// Note that an extension can have multiple mime types; mp4 has type application/mp4 when it does not have a video track
var allMimes = SimpleMimeMap.GetMimeTypes("https://example.com/movie.mp4"); // ["application/mp4", "video/mp4"]

// Generally the alphabetically first mime type will be returned, but some overrides are built in to match expectations
var mime2 = SimpleMimeMap.GetMimeType("mp4"); // "video/mp4"

// Mime types commonly map to multiple file extensions
var exts = SimpleMimeMap.GetExtensions("image/jpeg"); // ["jpg", "jpeg", "jpe"]

// Retrieve the first extension for the mime type
var ext = SimpleMimeMap.GetExtension("image/jpeg"); // "jpg"

// Some other useful methods:
var imageExtensions = SimpleMimeMap.GetImageExtensions(); // ["jpg", "png", ...];
