```

## Usage


### MIME type lookup

```javascript
var mimeType;

mimeType = MIM.getMIMEType('nonexistent');
console.log(mimeType); // displays null

mimeType = MIM.getMIMEType('mkv');
console.log(mimeType); // displays 'video/x-matroska'

mimeType = MIM.getMIMEType('.jpeg');
console.log(mimeType); // displays 'image/jpeg'

mimeType = MIM.getMIMEType('long_file-name.ecma');
console.log(mimeType); // displays 'application/ecmascript'

mimeType = MIM.getMIMEType('/etc/default/whatever.mif');
console.log(mimeType); // displays 'application/vnd.mif'

mimeType = MIM.getMIMEType('/folder with spaces/and file with space.xspf');
console.log(mimeType); // displays 'application/xspf+xml'

mimeType = MIM.getMIMEType('../../discobolos.xyz');
console.log(mimeType); // displays 'chemical/x-xyz'

mimeType = MIM.getMIMEType('https://mediapeers.com/products/12.json');
console.log(mimeType); // displays 'application/json'

mimeType = MIM.getMIMEType('https://s3.amazonaws.com/mpx-ah-ftp/archive_2.zip?token=hello-world');
console.log(mimeType); // displays 'application/zip'
```

### MIME type lookup with default

```javascript
var mimeType;

mimeType = MIM.getMIMEType('nonexistent', 'application/octet-stream');
console.log(mimeType); // displays 'application/octet-stream'
```
