# `iana-media-type`
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/iana-media-type)
## What is it for?
With `iana-media-type`, you can use IANA media types as JSON in your projects. It works in modern JavaScript runtimes.
We've provided a simple API for you. You can obtain `iana-media-type` from NPM. Please see the section ["How to Obtain"](#how-to-obtain).
## How to Obtain
- `iana-media-type` provides an NPM package. You can install it with your favorite package managers, and then bundle it into your project.
| Package Manager | Command | Shorthand |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------ | -------------------------- |
| [bun](https://bun.sh/) | `bun install iana-media-type` | `bun i iana-media-type` |
| [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) | `npm install iana-media-type` | `npm i iana-media-type` |
| [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) | `pnpm install iana-media-type` | `pnpm i iana-media-type` |
| [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) | `yarn add iana-media-type` | `yarn add iana-media-type` |
- `iana-media-type` provides [a JSON file on the GitHub](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AsherJingkongChen/iana-media-type/main/index.json). You can download it and use it in your project.
```bash
curl -fsSL -o iana-media-type.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AsherJingkongChen/iana-media-type/main/index.json
```
## Let's Learn How to Use It
1. Import the .js file:
```javascript
import mediaTypes from 'iana-media-type/index.js';
console.log({ mediaTypes, length: mediaTypes.length });
```
2. Import the json file `(Obtained from NPM)` on node v19:
```javascript
import mediaTypes from 'iana-media-type' assert { type: 'json' };
console.log({ mediaTypes, length: mediaTypes.length });
```
3. Import the json file `(Obtained from NPM)` on node 20+:
```javascript
import mediaTypes from 'iana-media-type' with { type: 'json' };
console.log({ mediaTypes, length: mediaTypes.length });
```
4. Import the json file `(Obtained from GitHub)` in the browser or deno:
```javascript
import mediaTypes from 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AsherJingkongChen/iana-media-type/main/index.json' with { type: 'json' };
console.log({ mediaTypes, length: mediaTypes.length });
```
