What is MIME type "application/vnd.arastra.swi"?

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

application/vnd.arastra.swi is a vendor-specific MIME type. It tells software that the file uses a proprietary format developed by Arastra.

Files with the SWI extension use this MIME type. They usually contain configuration data, operational instructions, or specialized commands needed by Arastra’s applications.

• Vendor-specific use: Designed solely for Arastra’s software systems.
• Proprietary format: Contains data that is processed only by dedicated applications.
• System communication: Helps systems know how to interpret and handle the file.

If you need to work with these files, use the proprietary software from Arastra. For more technical details and the official registration, check the IANA entry.
