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

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-opa is used to mark files containing Opa source code. It tells programs that the file is a plain text document meant for coding rather than for display as regular text.
This type helps editors and servers handle the file properly.

Files with this MIME type are typically saved with the OPA extension. The “x-” prefix indicates it is a non-standard or experimental type.

• Syntax highlighting: Editors can apply language-specific rules to make the code easier to read.
• Proper processing: Servers and development tools recognize it as source code for the Opa language.
• Web development: It is used when building applications that rely on Opa, particularly on the server-side.
