Newline-delimited JSON

[felipeochoa]

There seems to be growing consensus[1][2] around using application/x-ndjson for newline-delimited JSON, which is used for streaming JSON objects. There isn't an RFC yet for ndjson[3], which I think precludes registering with IANA. Would it be possible to nonetheless add to this library as a 'custom' MIME type?

Hi @felipeochoa ! An RFC is not required to submit the IANA form, as far as I know. Can you link to where you are seeing that an RFC of the format is required to add something to the IANA registry?

AFAIK it is just submitting the following form: https://www.iana.org/form/media-types

There are a lot of things in the IANA database (even recent ones I've seen come through) that have no RFC for their spec, especially private types like things companies define.

Just adding a +1 to this request.
