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

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-mojo marks a file as written in the Mojo language. It tells tools that the file is a human‐readable source code file rather than binary data.

When a file is labeled with text/x-mojo, editors and development tools can enable language-specific features like syntax highlighting and error checking. It also helps build systems and interpreters identify the file’s role in a codebase.

Files using this MIME type commonly use source code extensions such as MOJO and ð¥.

Editing: Code editors apply proper syntax rules and formatting.
Compilation: Build tools detect and process these files correctly.
Interoperability: IDEs integrate debugging and runtime support based on the file type.
Display: Web interfaces and version control systems render code for review.

FAQ

What is a MIME type?

A MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) type is a standard that indicates the nature and format of a document, file, or assortment of bytes. MIME types are defined and standardized in IETF's RFC 6838.

MIME types are important because they help browsers and servers understand how to process a file. When a browser receives a file from a server, it uses the MIME type to determine how to display or handle the content, whether it's an image to display, a PDF to open in a viewer, or a video to play.

MIME types consist of a type and a subtype, separated by a slash (e.g., text/html, image/jpeg, application/pdf). Some MIME types also include optional parameters.

How do I find the MIME type for a file?

You can check the file extension or use a file identification tool such as file --mime-type on the command line. Many programming languages also provide libraries to detect MIME types.

Why are multiple MIME types listed for one extension?

Different applications and historical conventions may use alternative MIME identifiers for the same kind of file. Showing them all helps ensure compatibility across systems.
