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

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-lsl designates plain text files containing source code written in the Linden Scripting Language. This scripting language enables dynamic control over objects in virtual environments like Second Life.

Files with this MIME type are human-readable and can be edited with any text editor. They act as the core logic that defines interactive behavior and automation in virtual worlds.

Key uses:

• Embedding source code for scripted objects
• Defining event-driven interactions within virtual spaces
• Automating in-world processes and responses
• Customizing the behavior of virtual elements
