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

A MIME type is a string that tells browsers and other tools how to handle a particular kind of file.

MIME type text/x-ride is for plain text source files written in the Ride programming language. These files contain code, commands, and comments that a Ride interpreter or compiler can process.

Its main use is to store and edit source code. Developers can use it with code editors that support the Ride language. The MIME type also helps development tools apply syntax highlighting and other language-specific features.

• Used for writing and debugging Ride source code.
• Facilitates code sharing across development environments.
• Enables tools to recognize and appropriately process Ride code files.
