Consolidating Efforts about mimetypes HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @TonyValenti! 👋

Are you open to combining/joining efforts?

What would that mean, exactly? 🤔

What I would like to do is build an update to MimeTypes that leverages the data and definitions used by Mime-Detective. There is a lot that could be shared between the two libraries.

I'd like to see more details, or possibly a PR outlining the changes you're suggesting.

This package is deliberately simple and ships a single .cs file as source. At runtime it's more or less a dictionary lookup. Generating the dictionary at build-time uses mime-db as source, which in turn aggregates IANA, apache and nginx.

Based on the above, I'm not sure what this package would gain by leveraging another package 🤔
