Set the Right MIME Type
Tell clients whether content is text, JSON, or more.
What a MIME Type Is
A MIME type is a short label that tells a client what kind of content a resource holds, such as plain text, JSON, or an image.
Why It Matters
The label lets the client render and parse content correctly. Without it, a client might show raw JSON as text or mishandle a binary blob. 🏷️
