DAT files may contain configuration data, logs, video metadata, or raw data from specialized devices, making them versatile but not universally readable without context.
How to open DAT files
DAT files can be opened with a text editor or the program that originally created them. Their content varies widely—text, binary data, or media streams.
Use AnyConv to convert DAT to other formats where supported, or inspect the file to determine its structure and purpose.

What is a XML file?
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a flexible, structured data format used to store and transport information. It uses custom tags to define and organize content, making it both human- and machine-readable.
XML is widely used in web development, configuration files, and data exchange between systems. It serves as the foundation for many other formats like RSS, SVG, and SOAP.
How to open XML files
XML files can be opened with any text editor or code editor, such as Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, or Sublime Text. Web browsers also render them in a tree structure.
To make XML content usable, convert it into formats like CSV or JSON using AnyConv or specialized parsers.
