Preferred media type for GEDCOM files?

[cecilia-donnelly]

Hi there,
I'm working on adding GEDCOM support to permanent.org. We set a media type / MIME type on files that we store. What's the preferred type to use for gedcom and gedzip files?
Thanks!

We set a media type / MIME type on files that we store. What's the preferred type to use for gedcom and gedzip files?

GEDCOM files: text/vnd.familysearch.gedcom
GEDZIP files: application/vnd.familysearch.gedcom+zip

See https://github.com/FamilySearch/GEDCOM/blob/main/version-detection/version-detection.md#iana-media-type-registration for the specification of these media types.

Fantastic! Thank you both for the quick response. :)
