What is MIME type "text/vnd.fly"?

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

text/vnd.fly is a vendor-specific MIME type in the plain text family. It indicates that a file follows a special format defined by a particular developer or company.

This MIME type is mainly used for files with the FLY extension. Software that recognizes it can apply special rules when reading or editing the file.

• Main use: To flag plain text files that include vendor-defined markup or commands.
• Additional use: To enable custom parsing and specialized rendering in dedicated applications.
• Key fact: It is less common than generic types like text/plain, meaning only specific tools fully support its structure.

Files marked with text/vnd.fly are still human-readable, but they often require a specialized program to make full use of any enhanced formatting or instructions embedded within.
