What is a BBC file?

BBC files mostly belong to Text Editor. BBC files serve two specific purposes. One use is as a JSON configuration file for BlackBullet systems. This file stores encrypted settings and is meant to manage system configurations.
The other use is as a control file for BBC Basic, historically associated with BBC Micro computers. In this role, the file is known as a Business Basic Control file and is used with BBC Micro emulators.

If the file shows a structure starting with a curly brace, it is likely the JSON config used for settings.

If the content appears to be code or control instructions, it is meant for BBC Basic operations.

BBC file format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. 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. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. In the following you will find our evaluation of the BBC files:

BBC is not a common file extension and mainly uses a defined BBC format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

• 90% of all BBC files are based on the well-known JSON file format. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data−interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. These files are text files, so they contain words and text. The files are on average 13 KB in size and range from 7 KB to 19 KB. The file type is relatively new. The keywords "Body": "O2pHE8WZ0e9oQQ2cP/ya68thvLPdNA7Y+6JI9/MaomM/o8Dy7Mse4ib are typical for these files. The file name Toomics.bbc is typical for these files.
