+
+This is a large database of mime types and information about them.
+It consists of a single, public JSON file and does not include any logic,
+allowing it to remain as un-opinionated as possible with an API.
+It aggregates data from the following sources:
+
+- http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml
+- http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types
+- http://hg.nginx.org/nginx/raw-file/default/conf/mime.types
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install mime-db
+```
+
+### Database Download
+
+If you're crazy enough to use this in the browser, you can just grab the
+JSON file using [jsDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/). It is recommended to
+replace `master` with [a release tag](https://github.com/jshttp/mime-db/tags)
+as the JSON format may change in the future.
+
+```
+https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jshttp/mime-db@master/db.json
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```js
+var db = require('mime-db')
+
+// grab data on .js files
+var data = db['application/javascript']
+```
+
+## Data Structure
+
+The JSON file is a map lookup for lowercased mime types.
+Each mime type has the following properties:
+
+- `.source` - where the mime type is defined.
+ If not set, it's probably a custom media type.
+ - `apache` - [Apache common media types](http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types)
+ - `iana` - [IANA-defined media types](http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml)
+ - `nginx` - [nginx media types](http://hg.nginx.org/nginx/raw-file/default/conf/mime.types)
+- `.extensions[]` - known extensions associated with this mime type.
+- `.compressible` - whether a file of this type can be gzipped.
+- `.charset` - the default charset associated with this type, if any.
+
+If unknown, every property could be `undefined`.
+
+## Contributing
+
+To edit the database, only make PRs against `src/custom-types.json` or
+`src/custom-suffix.json`.
+
+The `src/custom-types.json` file is a JSON object with the MIME type as the
+keys and the values being an object with the following keys:
+
+- `compressible` - leave out if you don't know, otherwise `true`/`false` to
+ indicate whether the data represented by the type is typically compressible.
+- `extensions` - include an array of file extensions that are associated with
+ the type.
+- `notes` - human-readable notes about the type, typically what the type is.
+- `sources` - include an array of URLs of where the MIME type and the associated
+ extensions are sourced from. This needs to be a [primary source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_source);
+ links to type aggregating sites and Wikipedia are _not acceptable_.
+
+To update the build, run `npm run build`.
+
+### Adding Custom Media Types
+
+The best way to get new media types included in this library is to register
+them with the IANA. The community registration procedure is outlined in
+[RFC 6838 section 5](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6838#section-5). Types
+registered with the IANA are automatically pulled into this library.
+
+If that is not possible / feasible, they can be added directly here as a
+"custom" type. To do this, it is required to have a primary source that
+definitively lists the media type. If an extension is going to be listed as
+associateed with this media type, the source must definitively link the
+media type and extension as well.
