What is an OBML file

OBML files mostly belong to Opera Mini. OBML files store bookmark and saved page data used primarily by Opera Mini.
They are plain text files that contain lists of URLs, page titles, and folder structures in a lightweight markup format. This design allows the Opera browser to quickly load favorite sites and saved pages.

Bookmark Records: They hold web addresses and titles for fast access.

Saved Pages: They sometimes include data that lets the browser display pages offline.

Internal Use: They are tailored for Opera products, including Opera Mobile.

Programs that open and convert OBML files:

Opera Mini
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. OBML files are often referred to as Opera Mini data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
Opera Mini (Saved Web Page) by Opera Software ASA
Opera Mini is a web browser designed primarily for mobile phones, but also for smartphones and personal digital assistants. It uses the Java ME platform and consequently requires that the mobile device be capable of running Java ME applications. Opera Mini is offered free of charge, supported through a partnership between its developer, the Opera Software company, and the search engine company Google. Opera Mini fetches all content through a proxy server that reformats web pages into a format more suitable for small screens. A page is compressed, then delivered to the phone in a markup language called OBML (Opera Binary Markup Language). This compression process makes transfer time faster and the pre-processing also helps compatibility with web pages not designed for mobile phones.

OBML file format details:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. 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 or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our examination of the OBML files comes to the following conclusion:

OBML is not that commonly used as a file extension. This file type predominantly uses a uniform format. But the following two file formats are common:

95% of all OBML files use the same file format, which have the signature 53 00 00 FF FF 00. They consist of unreadable binary data. The files are 9 KB to 120 KB in size, with a median of 34 KB. The file type is old but is used even today. Such files sometimes refer to savepages.

All other OBML files (5%) have no consistent format. If you want to find out which format your OBML file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .obml file to analyze".
