+# mime
+
+Comprehensive MIME type mapping API. Includes all 600+ types and 800+ extensions defined by the Apache project, plus additional types submitted by the node.js community.
+
+## Install
+
+Install with [npm](http://github.com/isaacs/npm):
+
+    npm install mime
+
+## API - Queries
+
+### mime.lookup(path)
+Get the mime type associated with a file, if no mime type is found `application/octet-stream` is returned. Performs a case-insensitive lookup using the extension in `path` (the substring after the last '/' or '.').  E.g.
+
+    var mime = require('mime');
+
+    mime.lookup('/path/to/file.txt');         // => 'text/plain'
+    mime.lookup('file.txt');                  // => 'text/plain'
+    mime.lookup('.TXT');                      // => 'text/plain'
+    mime.lookup('htm');                       // => 'text/html'
+
+### mime.default_type
+Sets the mime type returned when `mime.lookup` fails to find the extension searched for. (Default is `application/octet-stream`.)
+
+### mime.extension(type)
+Get the default extension for `type`
+
+    mime.extension('text/html');                 // => 'html'
+    mime.extension('application/octet-stream');  // => 'bin'
+
+### mime.charsets.lookup()
+
+Map mime-type to charset
+
+    mime.charsets.lookup('text/plain');        // => 'UTF-8'
+
+(The logic for charset lookups is pretty rudimentary.  Feel free to suggest improvements.)
+
+## API - Defining Custom Types
+
+The following APIs allow you to add your own type mappings within your project.  If you feel a type should be included as part of node-mime, see [requesting new types](https://github.com/broofa/node-mime/wiki/Requesting-New-Types).
+
+### mime.define()
+
+Add custom mime/extension mappings
+
+    mime.define({
+        'text/x-some-format': ['x-sf', 'x-sft', 'x-sfml'],
+        'application/x-my-type': ['x-mt', 'x-mtt'],
+        // etc ...
+    });
+
+    mime.lookup('x-sft');                 // => 'text/x-some-format'
+
+The first entry in the extensions array is returned by `mime.extension()`. E.g.
+
+    mime.extension('text/x-some-format'); // => 'x-sf'
+
+### mime.load(filepath)
+
+Load mappings from an Apache ".types" format file
+
+    mime.load('./my_project.types');
+
+The .types file format is simple -  See the `types` dir for examples.
