What is the appropriate mime-type?

[goloroden]

What is the appropriate mime-type for jsonlines? Is it application/json, too, or should I use something different?

[webwurst]

I would also like to see a suggestion :)

At ScrapingHub we're using application/x-jsonlines.

ndjson is now essentially the same format, why not use theirs "application/x-ndjson" https://github.com/ndjson/ndjson-spec

FWIW application/json is incorrect, because multiple lines of JSON values are not valid JSON.

Today, almost four years later, I found my own question via Google 😂

I am going to use application/x-ndjson, as @wardi suggested 😊

I found this issue after giving a suggestion elsewhere: #36

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7464 seems to suggest using application/json-seq as the mime type.

json-seq has slightly different format than jsonl Orz

The lack of a definitive IANA Media Type for JSON Lines causes some difficulty for those of us using the format. In the interest of pushing the issue, I took the liberty of starting a conversation:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/json/dWMWD0JDa2HiUYjWjLjrQExeIx4/

Perhaps someone here would like to join that thread?

Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with the IANA/IETF. I am merely interested in using the format, correctly.

@whlavina - I joined that so called IETF discussion thread (and was present during the JSON sequences RFC shaping) and I still think application/x-ndjson is a sensitive way to go.

I've also subscribed to the IETF mailing list, but I'm not sure how to respond to a past thread...

Meanwhile, on my end, we support application/jsonl and application/json-lines MIME types.
