morphline - detecting mime type

Hi all,

Has anyone used detectMimetype to validate whether the attachment appears
to be legitimate json prior to the execution of readJson?

Regards,
Andrew S

detectMimetype can’t detect whether it’s valid JSON, it can at most see whether it looks like JSON in the first few bytes. Consider wrapping the readJson in a tryRules command to handle it.
