What are multiple http “content types” for JSON reply.?
Apart from “application/json” content type can we expect any other content types..?
Similarly, do we have any other content types for XML, YAML, & HTML HTTP response.?
Yes, JS has other MIME types other than application/json.
This is a table of some of the MIME types.
| File Extension | MIME Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| .aac | audio/aac | AAC audio |
| .abw | application/x-abiword | AbiWord document |
| .arc | application/x-freearc | Archive document (multiple files) |
| .avi | video/x-msvideo | AVI: Audio Video Interleave |
| .azw | application/vnd.amazon.ebook | Amazon Kindle eBook format |
| .bin | application/octet-stream | Any kind of binary data |
| .bmp | image/bmp | Windows OS/2 Bitmap Graphics |
| .bz | application/x-bzip | BZip archive |
| .bz2 | application/x-bzip2 | BZip2 archive |
| .csh | application/x-csh | C-Shell script |
| .css | text/css | Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) |
| .csv | text/csv | Comma-separated values (CSV) |
| .doc | application/msword | Microsoft Word |
| .docx | application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document | Microsoft Word (OpenXML) |
| .eot | application/vnd.ms-fontobject | MS Embedded OpenType fonts |
| .epub | application/epub+zip | Electronic publication (EPUB) |
| .gz | application/gzip | GZip Compressed Archive |
| .xml | application/xml is recommended as of RFC 7303 (section 4.1), but text/xml is still used sometimes. You can assign a specific MIME type to a file with .xml extension depending on how its contents are meant to be interpreted. For instance, an Atom feed is application/atom+xml, but application/xml serves as a valid default. |
