Small and dependency free Javascript library to infer file type and MIME type checking the magic numbers signature of a file or buffer.
This is a Javascript port from filetype Go package.
- Simple and friendly API
- Supports a wide range of file types
- Provides file extension and MIME type inference
- File discovery by extension or MIME type
- File discovery by kind (image, video, audio...)
- Only first 261 bytes representing the max file header is required, so you can just [pass a list of bytes]
- Dependency free
- Cross-platform file recognition
