What is MIME type "text/x-gosu-template"?

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-gosu-template is used for files that blend plain text with embedded Gosu code. These files let you mix static content with dynamic logic in one document.
They are processed by a Gosu engine to generate dynamic output at runtime.

Files of this MIME type use the GST format. This makes them easy to read and edit with simple text editors.

• Dynamic Content Generation: Integrates static templates with code that runs at execution time.
• Business Logic Integration: Merges programmatic instructions with layout definitions for flexible outputs.
• Server-Side Templating: Common in applications that need to construct web pages or documents on the fly.

This MIME type is popular in environments that use the Gosu programming language. It helps separate the presentation layer from the business logic. Learn more from Guidewire Documentation.
