After work started on it in August 2017, May 2022 finally saw the publication of RFC 9239 “Updates to ECMAScript media types” by Matthew A. Miller, Myles Borins, Mathias Bynens, and Bradley Farias. It updates JavaScript MIME type registrations to align with reality:
- The JavaScript MIME type is now unambiguously
text/javascript. .mjsis now a registered filename extension, specifically for JavaScript modules.
This unblocks tooling and server software like Apache to support JavaScript modules out of the box in a unified manner, like e.g. Node.js already does. Better industry alignment on MIME type and file extensions increases interoperability across tooling and other software.
