## org.modeshape.graph.mimetype
Interface MimeTypeDetector

All Known Implementing Classes:
  ApertureMimeTypeDetector, ExtensionBasedMimeTypeDetector, MimeTypeDetectors

    @ThreadSafe
    public interface MimeTypeDetector

MIME-type detection libraries must provide thread-safe implementations of this interface to enable ModeShape to use the libraries to return MIME-types for data sources.

Method Summary
`String` | `mimeTypeOf(String name, InputStream content)` Returns the MIME-type of a data source, using its supplied content and/or its supplied name, depending upon the implementation.

Method Detail

### mimeTypeOf

    String mimeTypeOf(String name,
                      InputStream content)
                      throws IOException

  Returns the MIME-type of a data source, using its supplied content and/or its supplied name, depending upon the implementation. If the MIME-type cannot be determined, either a "default" MIME-type or `null` may be returned, where the former will prevent earlier registered MIME-type detectors from being consulted.

  Note that detector implementations should not `close` the supplied input stream.

  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the data source; may be `null`.
    `content` - The content of the data source; may be `null`.
  Returns:
    The MIME-type of the data source, or optionally `null` if the MIME-type could not be determined.
  Throws:
    `IOException` - If an error occurs reading the supplied content.
