We have compiled a full list of Internet Media Types which you can easily use while development.
“Internet Media Type” is the same as a MIME type. MIME types were originally created for emails sent using the SMTP protocol. Nowadays, this standard is used in a lot of other protocols, hence the new naming convention “Internet Media Type” whereas a “Content-type” is simply a header defined in many protocols, such as HTTP, that makes use of MIME types to specify the nature of the file currently being handled.
