To see what is in a file, and possibly to modify it, various sorts of software can be used, ranging from raw binary editors/viewers to programs that perform more sophisticated analysis. [[File creation software]] will usually edit existing files as well, and [[File rendering/interaction software]] will display them in various ways.

== General files ==

* [[Synalyze It]] [https://www.synalysis.net/] and [[Hexinator]] [https://hexinator.com/] are programs (related to one another) that can do raw binary/hexadecimal viewing and editing of files, but also parse them using [[Synalysis grammar file|grammar files]] to analyze various file formats.
* [[Okteta]] [https://www.kde.org/applications/utilities/okteta/] is an open source hex editor by the KDE project. It supports also parsing via [[Okteta grammar file]] to analyze various file formats.
[[Category:Software]]
* [[fq]] [https://github.com/wader/fq] allows to dive into structure of various binary and textual file formats with a functional programming language based on jq

== Specialized data types ==

* [[SleepyHead]] [https://sleepyhead.jedimark.net/] (views data from CPAP and related devices for treatment of sleep apnea)

== Links ==
* [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZOUr0pEtkH4_2C7oXdAIeexwhN0v0MvSN7gaVcAnUgo/edit#gid=1330973119 Spreadsheet showing formats supported by various software in Ubuntu systems] (connected with EaaSI sandbox [https://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/eaasi-sandbox/])

Hi, I'm [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15303972 Jakob Voß]. I did my PhD thesis [http://aboutdata.org About Data] so I'm interested in file formats.
