What is MIME type "application/vnd.grafeq"?

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

application/vnd.grafeq is a vendor-specific MIME type used by graph applications. It identifies files that store structured graph information.

This format is designed for applications that create, edit, and render graph diagrams. It holds data such as nodes, edges, and layout settings. The specification is meant to help software accurately reproduce graphical representations.

• Main use case: Storing complex graph structures for visual diagram creation.
• Preserving settings for graph rendering so that layouts and connections remain intact.
• Facilitating data exchange between graph-editing tools.

Files associated with this MIME type include:

• GQF
• GQS

Developers use this MIME type to integrate and manage graph data. The format ensures consistency when applications share or import graph details. Understanding it can help when troubleshooting file compatibility or exploring graph analysis software.
