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

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-uxntal denotes plain text files that contain Uxntal source code. It tells programs that the file holds instructions meant for a specific, low-level language used in the Uxn ecosystem.

Files using this MIME type work with source code editors, which can apply syntax highlighting and other coding tools. Developers work on these files to write code for a minimalist virtual machine. The text format remains human-readable and easy to edit.

• Main use case: Designates source files for Uxntal programming.
• Development: Helps editors and tools recognize the Uxntal syntax for proper formatting.
• Deployment: Utilized in environments where the Uxn virtual machine executes the low-level code.

The file type is commonly saved with the TAL extension. For more details on MIME types in general, see MIME type basics.
