File Format

Description

PROJECT File

Whenever you work with the Eclipse program, a .project file is created in XML format to enable later editing. Inside the Project file are two folders, namely bin and src. The src folder is the most important as it stores all java files. The file acts as storage for build specifications, project name, and nature […]

PYD File

PYD is derived from Python Dynamic Module. It is usable in Linux, Mac OS, and Windows computers. They are related to dynamic module files used in other applications written in Python Programing Language. PYD contains a set of python modules called out by other python software. The PYD files help improve the readability of program […]

S File

These are files written using the Assembly programming though it is used in other programs too. They are Assembly source codes (Unix) schemes for various computer applications, microcontrollers, microprocessors many more programmable devices. Examples of source codes include Scheme Language, Modula-3 Foreign, Multi-edit Macro, Free Pascal, and Xcode source codes. They are written in with […]

CMAKE File

Developed by Kitware, the CMake, a collection of assorted tools to test software, uses the CMAKE extension. It is a CMake language source file that may have a code organized into directories, scripts, and modules.

CLASS File

Developed by Oracle, the Java compiler stores the compiled JAVA file in the CLASS extension. These files use the javac command for compiling and contains executable byte code that can be run by a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The software commonly bundles the CLASS and JAR files together for execution purposes.

ERB File

The ERB files contain source code that has been written in ERB programming language. These files are in plain text format and include Ruby ERB code to generate additional information in the end product. These files help in creating templates for various use cases such as HTML, RB, or JS.

INO File

Developed by Arduino, its software by the same name, an open-source electronics prototyping platform, uses the INO file extension. These files are source and script containers in the Arduino programming language. The resulting output can run essential functions or more complex ones depending on what users need. The INO extension allows them to control the […]

O File

The O extension refers to Object file format that primarily contains object code. These files are produced by the C compiler and contain additional information that it generates. Several other compilers use the O format, but its purpose has always been the same.

PKL File

Developed by Python, the PKL extension refers to one of its modules, which helps to serialize (pickling) and de-serializing (unpickling) the files. The software pickles the data to storage space while being transferred and then unpickles them back to allow loading again. These files contain byte streams that represent its content.

HPP File

The HPP file refers to a header file written in the C++ programming language. These files are associated with the language’s IDE and can contain subroutines, declarations, variables, and constants. It is a plain text file which the user can insert into any source code via referencing. These reusable files often come with an H […]
