compressible

Compressible Content-Type / mime checking.

Installation

$ npm install compressible

API

var compressible = require('compressible')

compressible(type)

Checks if the given Content-Type is compressible. The type argument is expected to be a value MIME type or Content-Type string, though no validation is performed.

The MIME is looked up in the mime-db and if there is compressible information in the database entry, that is returned. Otherwise, this module will fallback to true for the following types:

• text/*
• */*+json
• */*+text
• */*+xml

If this module is not sure if a type is specifically compressible or specifically uncompressible, undefined is returned.

compressible('text/html') // => true
compressible('image/png') // => false
