What is MIME type "application/vnd.ms-visio.template.main+xml"?

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

application/vnd.ms-visio.template.main+xml is a MIME type for diagram templates used by Microsoft Visio. It uses an XML format, which makes it both human-readable and easy to process by machines.

This MIME type is primarily used to create predefined layouts and formatting for Visio diagrams. It provides a base design that users can quickly adapt for their own projects.

• Main use: Stores diagram templates for Microsoft Visio.
• Key feature: Uses XML for flexibility and ease of editing.
• Practical benefit: Standardizes diagram design and formatting.
• File in use: VSTX (Microsoft Visio Template 2013).

The format helps maintain consistency across diagrams. It supports collaboration and streamlines the way users start a new Visio document.
