Content-Type

Content-Type is a header in web communication that tells the browser what type of data is being sent. It helps the browser understand how to interpret and display that data correctly. For example, a Content-Type of "text/html" indicates an HTML webpage, while "application/json" indicates data in a structured format used for APIs. By knowing the Content-Type, the browser can process the information appropriately, ensuring that images, text, or other media are rendered or handled correctly for the user.
