1# MIME
2
3[](https://travis-ci.org/elixir-plug/mime)
4
5A read-only and immutable MIME type module for Elixir.
6
7This library embeds the MIME type database so we can map MIME types to extensions and vice-versa. The library was designed to be read-only for performance. New types can only be added at compile-time via configuration.
8
9This library is used by projects like Plug and Phoenix.

15The package can be installed as:
16
171. Add mime to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
18
19 ```elixir
20 def deps do
21 [{:mime, "~> 1.2"}]
22 end
23 ```
24
252. If there is an `applications` key in your `mix.exs`, add `:mime` to the list. This step is not necessary if you have `extra_applications` instead.
26
