+## Get MIME type from filename
+
+[![mime-badge]][mime] [![cat-encoding-badge]][cat-encoding]
+
+The following example shows how to return the correct MIME type from a given
+filename using the [mime] crate.  The program will check for file extensions
+and match against a known list.  The return value is [`mime:Mime`].
+
+```rust
+extern crate mime;
+use mime::Mime;
+
+fn find_mimetype (filename : &String) -> Mime{
+
+    let parts : Vec<&str> = filename.split('.').collect();
+
+    let res = match parts.last() {
+            Some(v) =>
+                match *v {
+                    "png" => mime::IMAGE_PNG,
+                    "jpg" => mime::IMAGE_JPEG,
+                    "json" => mime::APPLICATION_JSON,
+                    &_ => mime::TEXT_PLAIN,
+                },
+            None => mime::TEXT_PLAIN,
+        };
+    return res;
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    let filenames = vec!("foobar.jpg", "foo.bar", "foobar.png");
+    for file in filenames {
+	    let mime = find_mimetype(&file.to_owned());
+	 	println!("MIME for {}: {}", file, mime);
+	 }
+
+}
+```
