What is a XIN file

XIN files mostly belong to wxWidgets.

The XIN file extension is used by several applications to store internal data. Its function depends on the context. Below are the main uses:

Resource Layout File: Some XIN files act as layout resource files. They store configuration data for user interfaces and resource layouts. This format is common in applications related to UI design. More details can be found at the wxWidgets site.
XML Design File: Other XIN files are structured using XML and are used by Bentley Systems (for example, within InRoads). These files carry design and project data in a standardized XML format. Visit the Bentley Systems website for more technical details.
EDI Invoice File: In some cases, XIN files follow the ANSI X12 standard. They are used for electronic data interchange (EDI) in commerce, handling invoice documents for systems such as Ingram Micro CommerceStream. These text-based files can be viewed with simple text editors or specialized EDI software.

FilExt.com tips: Each file is specific to its intended application. Use a text or XML editor for viewing those based on XML, and dedicated design or EDI software for the others. Always back up your files before editing.
