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

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-lasso signals that a file contains code written in Lasso. It tells browsers and servers that the file is plain text mixed with programming instructions used to create dynamic, database-driven web pages.

Files of this kind typically come with the LASSO extension.

• Main use case: Running server-side scripts that combine HTML with database queries.
• Functionality: Embeds programming logic within text to generate content on the fly.
• Deployment: Processed by a Lasso interpreter on the web server for creating interactive websites.
