The MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) type is a standard that defines the format of data sent over the Internet. Originally developed to specify file types for sending e-mail, MIME types today help browsers and servers to correctly process web content. For example, the text/html MIME type of a file tells the browser that it is an HTML file and should be displayed as text.
