New page:
Binary resource.

== Definition ==

{{{
[nt:resource] > mix:referenceable
- jcr:encoding     (STRING)
- jcr:mimeType     (STRING) mandatory
- jcr:data         (BINARY) mandatory primary
- jcr:lastModified (DATE)   mandatory IGNORE
}}}

== Description ==

An nt:resource child node is normally used instead of a plain binary property when more resource metadata is required.

The {{{jcr:mimeType}}} property specifies the [http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/ content type] of the resource, and the optional {{{jcr:encoding}}} specifies the [http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets character encoding] of text-based content types.

The resource content is stored as a binary stream in the {{{jcr:data}}} property that is also the primary property of the node. The {{{jcr:lastModified}}} should be updated whenever the resource is modified.

== Related node types ==

 * nt:resource is often used as the {{{jcr:content}}} child of a ["nt:file"] node
