For Node applications, there is a more up-to-date answer now, which is to use the mime-types NPM package, e.g.:

var mime = require('mime-types'),
    fileExtension = mime.extension('text/plain');

There is a best package is

mime-db lib npm

var mimeDb = require("mime-db")

usage(it return object)

var data = mimeDb['image/x-icon']
console.log(data)

To get extenstions

 console.log(data.extensions[0])

another one is mime-types derived from mime-db

mime types

but while i use mime types little bugy in getting extension image/x-icon
