Mimer is a library that could detect a file mime type from its binary representation.
The only way to detect the true mime type is to use the win api FindMimeFromData function. It doesn't work for me, I don't know why. And win api is a windows-only item.
The MimeDetector reads first and last 256 bytes from a file. It calls a file header and a file footer.
Then it comapres the header and the footer with the mime type magic numbers table
The algorithm doesn't work for sure, but it could be a good start point.
Use NuGet package
Mimer.DetectedMimeType mime = Mimer.MimeDetector.Detect(@"C:\myfile");
Console.WriteLine(mime);
var stringMimeType = Mimer.MimeDetector.MimeToString(mime);
Console.WriteLine(stringMimeType);
Do not fully trust the MimeToString function: I wrote it for my case only and will check it later.
