    \class QMimeType
    \inmodule QtCore
    \ingroup shared
    \brief The QMimeType class describes types of file or data, represented by a MIME type string.
 
    \since 5.0
    \compares equality
 
    For instance a file named "readme.txt" has the MIME type "text/plain".
    The MIME type can be determined from the file name, or from the file
    contents, or from both. MIME type determination can also be done on
    buffers of data not coming from files.
 
    Determining the MIME type of a file can be useful to make sure your
    application supports it. It is also useful in file-manager-like applications
    or widgets, in order to display an appropriate \l {QMimeType::iconName}{icon} for the file, or even
    the descriptive \l {QMimeType::comment()}{comment} in detailed views.
 
    To check if a file has the expected MIME type, you should use inherits()
    rather than a simple string comparison based on the name(). This is because
    MIME types can inherit from each other: for instance a C source file is
    a specific type of plain text file, so text/x-csrc inherits text/plain.

    A type is a subclass of another type if any instance of the first type is

    text/xml, text/plain and application/octet-stream files. Subclassing is about
    the format, rather than the category of the data (for example, there is no
    'generic spreadsheet' class that all spreadsheets inherit from).
    Conversely, the parent mimetype of image/svg+xml is text/xml.
 
    A mimetype can have multiple parents. For instance application/x-perl
    has two parents: application/x-executable and text/plain. This makes
    it possible to both execute perl scripts, and to open them in text editors.
