ECMAScript Media Types Updates
draft-ietf-dispatch-javascript-mjs-03
Abstract
This document proposes updates to the ECMAScript media types,
superseding the existing registrations for "application/javascript"
and "text/javascript" by adding an additional extension and removing
usage warnings. This document updates RFC4329, "Scripting Media
Types".

Internet-Draft ECMAScript Media Types Updates February 2019
1. Introduction
This document updates the existing media types for the ECMAScript
programming language. It supersedes the media types registrations in
[RFC4329] for "application/javascript" and "text/javascript".
2. Background
In order to formalize support for modular programs [ECMA-262] now
defines two top-level goal symbols for the ECMAScript grammar. This
means that (in the absence of additional information) there are two
possible interpretations for any given ECMAScript Source Text. The
TC39 standards body for ECMAScript has determined that media types
are outside of their scope of work [TC39-MIME-ISSUE].
It is not possible to fully determine if a Source Text of ECMAScript
is meant to be parsed in the Module or Script grammar goals based
upon content alone. Therefore, scripting environments must use out
of band information in order to determine what goal a Source Text
should be treated as. To this end some scripting environments have
chosen to adopt a new file extension of .mjs for determining the goal
of a given Source Text.
3. IANA Considerations
The media type registrations herein are divided into two major
categories: the sole media type "text/javascript" which is now in
common usage, and all of the media types that are obsolete.
For both categories, The ECMAScript media types are to be updated to
point to a non-vendor specific standard undated specification of
ECMAScript. In addition, a new file extension of .mjs is to be added
to the list of file extensions with the restriction that it must
correspond to the Module grammar of [ECMA-262]. Finally, the [HTML]
specification is using "text/javascript" as the default media type of
ECMAScript when preparing script tags; therefore, "text/javascript"
has been moved intended usage from OBSOLETE to COMMON.
3.1. Common Javascript Media Types
3.1.1. text/javascript
Type name: text
Subtype name: javascript
Required parameters: none

Internet-Draft ECMAScript Media Types Updates February 2019
Optional parameters: charset, see section 4.1 of [RFC4329].
goal, declares the goal symbol in the Syntactic Grammars of
[ECMA-262] to be used while parsing. This parameter is case
insensitive.
Encoding considerations: Encoding is host dependent with differences
in byte order marks, the charset parameter, and text
preprocessing.
Security considerations: See section 5 of [RFC4329].
Interoperability considerations: See notes in various sections of
[RFC4329]. This media type does not specify the grammar of
[ECMA-262] used when missing the goal parameter.
Published specification: [[RFCXXXX]]
Applications which use this media type: Script interpreters as
discussed in [RFC4329].

3.2. Historic Javascript Media Types
The following media types are added or updated for historical
purposes. All herein have an intended usage of OBSOLETE, and are not
expected to be in use with modern implementations.
