LIST file format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. 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. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening.

Files with the LIST extension are quite widely used. This file type includes various formats for various programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in LIST files:

• 35% of all LIST files use the popular HTML file format. HTML is short for HyperText Markup Language. It is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. The file size is in the range of 1 KB to 5 MB. The file type is relatively new. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">, <dict>, <plist version="1.0">, <array> and <key>Contacts</key>. Contacts.list or Messages.list is a typical file name. These files can be linked to calllogs, accounts, photos, notes, calendar, apps and labels.
• 9% of all LIST files store the data in the 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. If you open these files in a text editor, you can view and read the content yourself. The average file size is 19 bytes with most files being between 19 bytes and 22 bytes in size. The following keywords are characteristic: {"hashtag_info":[]}. A common filename is hashtagContent.list or hashtag.list. Such LIST files store data about content and note.

All other LIST files (56%) have no consistent format, frequently e.g. JAR Index, ZIP, UTF-16 (LE), plist, Java, JSXBIN, VERSION and CRC. Often described as toko, transfer, grpahics, system, info, names, free or pack.
