What is a .Config file?
.Config is a file in the Config category. Analyser identifies it and reads the metadata in its header, right in your browser.
- Did you know
- A .config file stores settings in plain text, with .NET's app.config and web.config being among the best-known examples.
- Those .NET config files are XML, holding connection strings, app settings and runtime options a program reads at start-up.
- Keeping configuration in a separate file lets the same program be reconfigured without recompiling it.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify configuration and small text files: TOML, INI, .env, CONF, CFG, Java properties, generic .config, info notes, .lst list/index files, and Windows Setup Information (.inf) driver/install scripts.
- Depth of analysis
- .Config is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .Config file
- Drag a .Config file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
