What is MIME type "text/x-felix"?

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

The MIME type text/x-felix labels files as plain text that contains code for the Felix programming language. It signals to text editors, browsers, and development tools that the file holds source code rather than random text.

Files with the extension FLX are handled using this MIME type.

• Syntax Highlighting: Editors can apply color coding to the Felix syntax.
• Language-Specific Behavior: Tools use this tag to trigger rules and formatting unique to Felix.
• Proper File Handling: Systems and compilers can automatically recognize and process the source code correctly.

This non-standard MIME type is defined for the practical needs of the Felix language ecosystem. It ensures consistent interpretation and display across different software environments. For further reading on MIME types, visit Mozilla Developer Network.
