Nick Burch commented on TIKA-3694:
----------------------------------
I've added new HTML and JSON endpoints {{/mime-types/type/subtype}} which
return additional details on the specified type (or 404 if unknown), eg
{code:java}
{
"extensions" : [ ".cbor" ],
"acronym" : "CBOR",
"alias" : [ ],
"description" : "Concise Binary Object Representation container",
"links" : [ "http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049"; ],
"type" : "application/cbor",
"defaultExtension" : ".cbor"
}{code}
On the basis that people may have custom parsing around the all-types Text and
JSON endpoints, no change made there to the output. The all-types HTML endpoint
now returns a little bit more info, and links to the full details one.
> Tika Server endpoint to return more details on a mime type

> Key: TIKA-3694
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3694
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: mime, server
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Nick Burch
> Priority: Major
>
> As raised on the user list -
> [https://lists.apache.org/thread/mhtj6cgf323525hs6dow1oz68nkqwfgy] - users
> calling the Java APIs are able to get additional details on a mime type, such
> as common extensions and descriptions. Those calling the Tika Server can only
> get limited information on mime types, such as which are known to Tika
> In addition to the current {{/mime-types}} endpoint (html/json/text), we
> should add a more detailed one that takes a specific type.
