MimeType

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The MimeType interface provides contains information about a MIME type associated with a particular plugin. NavigatorPlugins.mimeTypes returns an array of this object.

Properties

MimeType.type: Returns the MIME type of the associated plugin.
MimeType.description: Returns a description of the associated plugin or an empty string if there is none.
MimeType.suffixes: A string containing valid file extensions for the data displayed by the plugin, or an empty string if an extension is not valid for the particular module. For example, a browser's content decryption module may appear in the plugin list, but support more file extenions than can be anticipated. It might therefore return an empty string.
MimeType.enabledPlugin: Returns an instance of Plugin containing information about the plugin itself.
