  data: String!
  encoding: BufferEncoding
}
```

## Fields

### `name`

[String!](/reference/graphql/scalars/string)

The name of the file. Example: `"document.pdf"`.

### `mimeType`

[String!](/reference/graphql/scalars/string)

### `encoding`

[BufferEncoding](/reference/graphql/enums/buffer-encoding)

Specifies the encoding of the original data if the `data` field represents text that was then Base64 encoded (e.g., a text file's content).
Common values include `UTF8` or `ASCII`.
If the `data` field is Base64 encoded binary (like an image), this field is often not needed or can be omitted.
See `BufferEncoding` enum.
