🚀 Use Cases & Applications
🔒 Security Analysis
Verify file types to prevent malicious file uploads and ensure files match their claimed extensions.
🌐 Web Development
Set proper Content-Type headers and validate file uploads in web applications.
📁 File Processing
Determine file types for processing pipelines, automation scripts, and data analysis.
⚙️ System Administration
Analyze files on servers, validate uploads, and ensure proper file handling in systems.
💡 Pro Tip: MIME types help browsers and applications understand how to handle files. The actual MIME type (detected from file content) is more reliable than the browser-reported type, especially for security validation.
