IANA media types and character sets

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the international body responsible for assigning names for protocols used on the Internet. Use these links to find out more about the names.

IANA media types are names for the types of data that are commonly transmitted over the Internet. They are described at http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml
Text media types (such as a type that begins with text/, or a type that contains +xml) are identified by RFC 3023, which is available at https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3023.txt.
IANA character sets are the names of character set registries. They are described at http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
CICS® does not support all the IANA character sets for code page conversion. The character sets that CICS supports are described in HTML coded character sets.
