Is there a difference between mimetype, contenttype and mediatype? (Java JAX-RS MediaType ).
From the wikipedia article, I realized that this is only a content type in the context, for example, HTTP requests as a field in the request header: are these synonyms or are there any actual semantic differences between the various terms?
"(Internet) Media type is the correct technical term.
"Content-Type" is the name of the HTTP header field used to indicate the type of medium.
Content-Type is the header of the HTTP message, and its value (usually) is a MIME type.
JAX-RS MediaType, apparently, is a Java rewrite for common MIME types.
