+# MIME Type Reference
+
+This project provides a quick and easy way to browse and search for official IANA-registered MIME types. It consists of two main parts:
+
+1.  A Python script (`fetcher.py`) that downloads the latest MIME type registration data from the official IANA website.
+2.  A self-contained HTML file (`index.html`) that displays the data in a clean, searchable, and user-friendly interface.
+
+## Features
+
+-   **Up-to-date Data**: Fetches data directly from IANA's official sources.
+-   **Categorized View**: Organizes MIME types by category (text, image, application, etc.).
+-   **Obsolete/Deprecated Handling**: Separately categorizes and displays obsolete or deprecated types for clarity.
+-   **Live Search**: Instantly filter all categories with a single search bar.
+-   **Zero Dependencies**: The `index.html` file is completely self-contained and requires no external libraries or frameworks.
+
+## How to Use
+
+### 1. Fetch the Data
+
+To get the latest MIME types, run the Python script. This will download the data from IANA and create a `mime_types.json` file in the same directory.
+
+You will need `aiohttp` to run the script:
+
+```bash
+pip install aiohttp
+python fetcher.py
+```
+
+### 2. View the Data
+
+Simply open the `index.html` file in any modern web browser. It will automatically load the `mime_types.json` file and display the data.
+
+You can now browse the categories or use the search bar to find specific MIME types.
