What is MIME type "application/kal"?

A MIME type is a string that tells browsers and other tools how to handle a particular kind of file.

The MIME type application/kal signals that a file contains source code written in the Kal programming language. It lets software know to treat the file as code rather than plain text.
This ensures that editors, compilers, and other development tools recognize and process the file with the correct settings.

A file labeled with this MIME type, like KAL, may trigger features such as syntax highlighting and code formatting. This improves readability and speeds up debugging or compilation steps.

• Main use case: To identify Kal source code for proper handling by programming tools.
• Helps operating systems and browsers deliver the file to the right application.
• Facilitates integration with development environments tailored to the Kal language.

For further technical details on MIME types, refer to resources such as the IANA media types registry.
