'Get the extension from a MimeType
I want to get the extension from a MimeType.
For example:
video/mp4 ----> mp4
application/x-rar-compressed ----> rar
text/plain ----> txt
application/pdf ----> pdf
To save my file on Windows or Linux, I have this method that let me to download a file from an URL. So, I'm able only to save it without extension (I don't want that).
This method lets me only to get the MimeType not the extension.
public void downloadImage() {
String dirPath = "/home/MyPC/Downloaded";
String fileName = "My downloaded file";
URL fetchFile = new URL(IMAGE_URL);
byte[] fileAsArray = Resources.toByteArray(fetchFile);
//Getting the MimeType
String mimeType = URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(fileAsArray));
System.out.println(mimeType);
File fileToWriteTo = new File(dirPath.concat("/" + fileName));
//Saving the file using Guava
Files.write(fileAsArray, fileToWriteTo);
}
How can I write a file with extension using MimeType?
Solution 1:[1]
There are two ways generally:
- have a mapping of MimeTypes to extensions;
- compute it, using some logic;
The second approach is really not good, so I offer it only for completion. For the first approach you can use this resource: https://www.freeformatter.com/mime-types-list.html
I would use HashMap<K,V> - the key being the MimeType and the value be the extension (or similar).
Solution 2:[2]
The problem with this question is that several extensions can produce the same MimeType, vice versa is simple and you can find it in many utils classes for example: MimetypesFileTypeMap, but I found this useful class MimeTypes and I did a little trick adding an extensions Mapping like @Mindaugas Bernatavi?ius said, remember this return the default extension by MimeType but can be inaccurate.

/**
* Returns the default Ext to the given MimeType.
* If no MIME type was found it returns 'unknown' ext.
*/
public static String getDefaultExt(String mimeType) {
String ext = lookupExt(mimeType);
if (ext == null) {
ext = "unknown";
}
return ext;
}
}
And you can use it like this:
@Test
public void mimetypePdf() throws Exception {
String ext = MimeTypes.getDefaultExt(MimeTypes.MIME_APPLICATION_PDF);
Assert.assertEquals("Not equals", "pdf", ext);
}

Using the suggestion of "Mindaugas Bernatavi?ius", I created a class to resolve my problem.
import java.util.HashMap;
public class MimeTypesAndExtensions {
static HashMap<String, String> MimesExtensions_HashMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
public MimeTypesAndExtensions() {
super();
}
static {
createHashMap();
}
/*****************************************************************************
Extracted from : https://www.freeformatter.com/mime-types-list.html
- The "x-" prefix of a MIME subtype simply means that it's non-standard,
i.e. not registered with the "Internet Assigned Numbers Authority" (IANA).
- The "vnd" prefix means that the MIME value is vendor specific.

private static void createHashMap() {
// This list is not complete...

MimesExtensions_HashMap.put("application/vnd.hzn-3d-crossword", "x3d");
MimesExtensions_HashMap.put("application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3", "123");
MimesExtensions_HashMap.put("text/vnd.in3d.3dml", "3dml");

Try jodd. There is a utility for that: MimeUtil.getMimeType() that takes an extension and returns the mime type. See: https://github.com/oblac/jodd/blob/master/jodd-core/src/main/java/jodd/net/MimeTypes.java#L119
edit: im the author.
Solution 5:[5]
I strongly recommend Jodd Util. It's a simple, fast, zero dependency library, and that's always a plus in my books.
String fileExtension = MimeTypes.findExtensionsByMimeType("image/jpeg", false)[0];
Solution 6:[6]
For all running a Spring project:
import org.springframework.util.MimeTypeUtils;
...
String fileExtension = MimeTypeUtils.parseMimeType(attachment.getMimeType()).getSubtype();
As MimeTypeUtils is in the spring-core module probably it's not worth to have a dependency on this one if you don't have a spring project.
Update Does not work for all cases and not for original question. Only in case subType equals file extension like for png, jpeg, pdf and so on. Thanks to the comment.
