What is a DE file?

DE files mostly belong to DrawExpress by DrawExpress. A DE file is a diagram created with DrawExpress flowcharting and diagramming software for iOS/iPadOS and Android. Its contents are saved as JSON encoded text detailing the version, scale, grid, dimensions, shapes, and text which make up a diagram. Another type of DE file is a PDF document created by pdfFactory. Seq2Seq text encoding/decoding library for Tensorflow uses a DE file to save the output of an English-to-German language translation.

How can I open a DE file?

You need a suitable software like DrawExpress to open a DE file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your DE file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a DE file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used.
