Performs a case-insensitive lookup using the extension in `path` (the substring after the last '/' or '.').  E.g.\n\n```js\nvar mime = require('mime');\n\nmime.lookup('/path/to/file.txt');         // => 'text/plain'\nmime.lookup('file.txt');                  // => 'text/plain'\nmime.lookup('.TXT');                      // => 'text/plain'\nmime.lookup('htm');                       // => 'text/html'\n```\n\n### mime.default_type\nSets the mime type returned when `mime.lookup` fails to find the extension searched for. (Default is `application/octet-stream`.)\n\n### mime.extension(type)\nGet the default extension for `type`\n\n```js\nmime.extension('text/html');                 // => 'html'\nmime.extension('application/octet-stream');  // => 'bin'\n```\n\n### mime.charsets.lookup()\n\nMap mime-type to charset\n\n```js\nmime.charsets.lookup('text/plain');        // => 'UTF-8'\n```\n\n(The logic for charset lookups is pretty rudimentary.  Feel free to suggest improvements.)\n\n## API - Defining Custom Types\n\nCustom type mappings can be added on a per-project basis via the following APIs.\n\n### mime.define()\n\nAdd custom mime/extension mappings\n\n```js\nmime.define({\n    'text/x-some-format': ['x-sf', 'x-sft', 'x-sfml'],\n    'application/x-my-type': ['x-mt', 'x-mtt'],\n    // etc ...\n});\n\nmime.lookup('x-sft');                 // => 'text/x-some-format'\n```\n\nThe first entry in the extensions array is returned by `mime.extension()`. E.g.\n\n```js\nmime.extension('text/x-some-format'); // => 'x-sf'\n```\n\n### mime.load(filepath)\n\nLoad mappings from an Apache \".types\" format file\n\n```js\nmime.load('./my_project.types');\n```\nThe .types file format is simple -  See the `types` dir for examples.\n","readmeFilename":"README.md","bugs":{"url":"https://github.com/broofa/node-mime/issues"},"homepage":"https://github.com/broofa/node-mime","_id":"mime@1.3.4","_shasum":"115f9e3b6b3daf2959983cb38f149a2d40eb5d53","_from":"https://registry.npmjs.org/mime/-/mime-1.3.4.tgz","_resolved":"https://registry.npmjs.org/mime/-/mime-1.3.4.tgz"}
