I found Apache Thrift registers the following MIME types: * application/vnd.apache.thrift.binary * application/vnd.apache.thrift.compact * application/vnd.apache.thrift.json
https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml Thrift uses "vnd.apache." prefix[1]. [1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6838 > Vendor-tree registrations will be distinguished by the leading facet > "vnd.". That may be followed, at the discretion of the registrant, > by either a media subtype name from a well-known producer (e.g., > "vnd.mudpie") or by an IANA-approved designation of the producer's > name that is followed by a media type or product designation (e.g., > vnd.bigcompany.funnypictures). vnd.apache.thrift.binary was registered at 2014-09-09: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.apache.thrift.binary Should we register our MIME types to IANA? It seems that Apache Thrift uses application/x-thift (typo?) before Apache Thrift registers these MIME types. > The application/x-thift media type is currently used to describe multiple > formats/protocols. Communications endpoints need to the format/protocol > used, so this media type should be used preferentially when it is > appropriate to do so.
