jsonmime-types

What is the mime type of jsonl files?

When responding to a http request for a file of type jsonl, i.e., a collection of json object separated by new lines, what mime type should I set? I tried searching for jsonl mime type and jsonl mimetype on SO, but could not find anything about it.

My response is as follows (flask/python):

response = Response(
    generate_jsonl(object_iterable),
    mimetype='application/json',
    headers={
        'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8',
        'Content-Disposition': 'attachment;filename=%s.json' % file_name,
    },
)
Solution

  • Some web sites use application/json-lines.

    Some application/jsonl.

    And some even more exotic, like application/x-....

    It seems to be a take-your-pick territory...
