What is an OBJECT file?

OBJECT files mostly belong to Salesforce Developer Tools. OBJECT files can represent two very different kinds of data assets.
When used with Salesforce.com, these files are typically XML documents that define custom objects, fields, and configuration details. They serve as metadata that instructs the cloud platform how to handle business data. You can open these files with any text editor or using Salesforce Developer Tools.
In other cases, such as in the game Payday 2 (powered by the Diesel Engine), an OBJECT file contains a compiled 3D model. This binary format is optimized for game performance and is not meant to be manually edited. Specialized game modding or asset viewing tools are required to work with these files.
  • Salesforce Metadata: XML-based file defining custom objects used in the Salesforce environment. (Salesforce)
  • Game Asset: Compiled 3D model data used within game engines.
  • FilExt.com tips: Your approach to opening an OBJECT file depends on its origin. If it begins with XML tags, it is likely meant as metadata and can be inspected with a simple text editor. If it is a compiled binary file, then you need game-specific or 3D asset tools to view or modify it.

    How to open OBJECT files

    You need a suitable software like Salesforce Developer Tools to open an OBJECT 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 OBJECT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a OBJECT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
