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

Instance 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 extensions than can be anticipated. It might therefore return an empty string.
