  - extension
```
public final String extension
```
    File extension without leading dot (e.g. "png").
  - mimeType
```
public final String mimeType
```
    MIME type (e.g. "image/png"), or a wildcard of the form "category/*" (e.g. "image/*") if the specific type is unknown. Wildcard values are resolved against the bundled MIME database by extension; if still unresolved, the sentinel is preserved for platform-specific code to handle at OS registration time.
  - description
```
public final String description
```
    Human-readable description of the file type (e.g. "Gatan Digital Micrograph image"), used as the label when registering a custom MIME type, or null to synthesize one from the extension.
