What is MIME type "text/snbt"?

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

text/snbt is a MIME type for files in the Stringified NBT format. This format turns binary data into plain text, making it easier to read and modify.
It is closely related to NBT (Named Binary Tag), a system used to store structured data in applications and games such as Minecraft. Using a text format helps developers and modders review and debug data without complex tools.

• Main Use: Easily view and edit game data in a clear text form.
• Debugging: Simplifies tracking issues in data by showing its structure.
• Data Serialization: Converts binary information to text for comparisons and version control.

Files with this MIME type commonly use the extension SNBT. Their plain text nature means you can open them in any text editor.
