Media subtype name: vnd.freelog.comic

Required parameters: N/A

Optional parameters: N/A

Encoding considerations: binary

Contains a json file and image files.

Security considerations: The security considerations of the media type have not been assessed.

Interoperability considerations: The current common comic file formats (CBZ, CBR, etc.) are based on practices of decades ago and difficult for modern developers to work with.

"mode": 1,
// comic picture list (ordered)
"list": [
{
// comic picture name
"name": "",
// URL of the picture
"url": ""
}
],
// comic file configurations (as the configurations in the xml file in CBZ)
config: {},
// custom parameters
custom: {}
}

Applications which use this media: Any application that processes or illustrates image sets intended for comics.
