What is a PRJPCB file
This file holds a project's configuration, linking various design documents such as schematic files and board layouts. In some instances, the file uses UTF-8 encoding, which means its text content is stored in a standardized format that can be read and diffed easily.

PRJPCB format details:
A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. 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. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Our evaluation of the PRJPCB files looks like this:
PRJPCB is a very widely used file extension. The file type is mainly used by one program with a specific format. The two most common formats are as follows:
- 85% of all PRJPCB files are associated with Altium Designer Project. These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. Most of these files are 37 KB to 74 KB in size. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. Version=1.0, [Design], ChannelRoomNamingStyle=0, ChannelDesignatorFormatString=$Component_$RoomName, HierarchyMode=0, ChannelRoomLevelSeperator=_, ReleasesFolder=, OpenOutputs=1, ArchiveProject=0, ReleaseVaultGUID= and ReleaseVaultName=. Such PRJPCB files store data about project, board, tida, power, controller, line, baseboard, follower, adapter, driver, hifive, module and sensor.
- 10% of all PRJPCB files use the popular UTF-8 file format. UTF-8 is the World Wide Web's most common character encoding for Unicode. UTF-8 files can be viewed with any text editor. These files start with the 3 bytes  (hex: EF BB BF), the so called byte order mark (BOM). These files contain text and words, not binary data. Most of these files are 34 KB to 73 KB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. ReleasesFolder=, Version=1.0, [Design], ChannelRoomNamingStyle=0, HierarchyMode=0, ChannelRoomLevelSeperator=_, OpenOutputs=1, ArchiveProject=0 and ChannelDesignatorFormatString=$Component_$RoomName. Such files are related to flexar.
All other PRJPCB files (5%) have no consistent format, the following 3 formats can be found: HTML. The category is mini, breakout, control, genesis, nodemcu, devkit, ampli, boost, motor, nano, proc or xpro.
