[mime.parse]

mime.parse is a slot in the mime namespace, in Hyperlambda, the language of Magic Cloud. Parses a raw MIME message into a lambda tree of headers and body parts; commonly used for email or multipart payloads.

• Value (mime-message), required: Raw MIME message to parse
• Returns: Resolves to the parsed MIME entity content type as the node value, and headers, content, and nested entities as child nodes

Returned nodes

Node	Type	Required	Description
[headers]	lambda	no	MIME headers from the parsed entity, excluding Content-Type because the entity content type is returned as the node value.
[headers] / any node name	string	no	Parsed MIME header value; child name is the header name. Can be repeated.
[content]	string|byte[]	no	Decoded MIME part content; text parts return string content and binary parts return byte[] content.
[entity]	string	no	Nested parsed MIME entity; node value is the nested entity content type, and children carry headers, content, and any deeper entities. Can be repeated.
[entity] / [headers]	lambda	no	MIME headers from the parsed entity, excluding Content-Type because the entity content type is returned as the node value.
[entity] / [headers] / any node name	string	no	Parsed MIME header value; child name is the header name. Can be repeated.
