a MIME Recognizer</title><abstract><p>The Mime Recognizers provide the implementation for data type

(MIME Type) recognition using the MIME recognition framework. </p><p>Each

MIME recognizer specifies the MIME type it supports along with the priority

and confidence of recognition. A MIME recognizer reads a small piece of data

and identifies the data type. Once the data type is identified, it is passed

to the <xref href="GUID-1578590A-FC00-5C3B-8BF9-F6E43CA9D9A0.dita">Application

Architecture </xref> (AppArc). AppArc launches the application

that best handles the identified data type.  </p></abstract><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><taskbody>
