What is MIME type "application/vnd.sqlite3"?

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

• The main purpose is to store and manage data locally.
• It is used in desktop software, mobile apps, and web browsers.
• Associated logging files (DB-WAL or SQLITE-WAL) help track changes for data integrity.
• SHM files (SQLITE-SHM or DB-SHM) aid in managing shared memory for concurrent access.
