Mime-Detective

Info

Detect MIME type from files.

This repo will help keep alive this old library with minimal support.
You should consider using the new one: Mime-Detective.

Nuget: SrkMimeDetective

Usage

// Both ways are writing the data to a temp file
// to get a FileInfo. GetFileType are extension methods
byte[] fileData = ...;
FileType fileType = fileData.GetFileType();
   
// or 
Stream fileDataStream = ...;
FileType fileType = fileDataStream.GetFileType();

// If writing to a temp file is not practicable use it like this
byte[] fileData = ...;
FileType fileType = MimeTypes.GetFileType(() => fileData);
