MEZ format details:
To view or edit MEZ files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Below you will find our evaluation of the MEZ files:
The MEZ file type mainly uses a defined MEZ format. The two most common formats are as follows:

A little tip: If you rename the file extension to .zip and then double-click, you will see the included files and images. The file size is in the range of 15 KB to 34 KB. HubSpot.mez or Power BI API.mez is a typical file name. These files are often associated with connector, power, spot, powerbi, facebook, direct, query and data.
