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

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

text/x-rustsrc is a MIME type that identifies source code files. It signals that the content is text and should be treated as code. Editors and IDEs use it for syntax highlighting and proper formatting, especially when dealing with languages in the Rust family.

• Enables accurate code rendering in text editors.
• Helps systems recognize the file’s purpose for better file association.
• Supports languages that share Rust-like syntax and conventions.

Files using this MIME type may come with a variety of extensions. A typical Rust source file uses RS. In similar projects, you may also see RES (ReScript), SW (Sway), RE (Reason), NR (Noir), REI (Reason), RELIGO (ReasonLIGO), or RS.IN for variants of Rust files.

This MIME type streamlines development by ensuring that software tools and systems know how to process and display the files correctly.

Usage Examples

HTTP Header

When serving content with this MIME type, set the Content-Type header:

    Content-Type: text/x-rustsrc
  

HTML

In HTML, you can specify the MIME type in various elements:

    <a href="file.dat" type="text/x-rustsrc">Download file</a>
  

Server-side (Node.js)

Setting the Content-Type header in Node.js:

    const http = require('http');
    
    http.createServer((req, res) => {
      res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/x-rustsrc');
      res.end('Content here');
    }).listen(3000);
