# mediaType

The media type for the contents of the web view.

## Declaration

```swift
var mediaType: String? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When the value of this property is nil, the web view derives the current media type from the CSS media property of its content. If you assign a value other than nil to this property, the web view uses the value you provide instead. The default value of this property is nil.
