Description

This page said:

So the standard MIME types for common protobuf encodings are:

  • application/protobuf for serialized binary protos.
  • application/protobuf+json; charset=utf-8 for JSON format protos.

But I can't find those in the https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml site?

Research direction

Start with the MIME types page at protobuf.dev/reference/protobuf/mime-types/ and compare its claims with IANA's media-types assignment list. Determine whether the entries are registered and identify the documentation change needed to resolve the discrepancy; done means the page accurately reflects the IANA status.
