What is a TGN file?

TGN files mostly belong to Table Grower.

The TGN file is a TableGen spreadsheet file that stores table data in a JSON structure, used internally by Table Grower. This file is designed to hold and transfer structured table information much like a conventional spreadsheet but is stored as readable text.
Key details as outlined by FilExt.com include:

Format: JSON-based text file
Main Function: Store and manage table data for Table Grower applications
Usage: Operates within an automated environment for data manipulation and organization

FilExt.com tip: Although intended for use with Table Grower, the JSON nature of these files can allow for manual inspection or editing with a text editor. Take care to preserve the JSON syntax to avoid data corruption.

How to open TGN files

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

TGN format details:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our examination of the TGN files comes to the following conclusion:

TGN is rarely used as a file extension and predominantly uses a uniform format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

85% of all TGN files use the popular 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 plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. The files are on average 14 KB in size and range from 5 KB to 55 KB. The file type was developed only in the last few years. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as bg_color, borders, font_style, halign, padding, rows_views, text_color, valign, right, bottom, left, border_color, center and lrtb. These files are attributed to table and tabla.
10% of all TGN files start with the magic bytes meta: , which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The file size is in the range of 28 KB to 950 KB. The files contain the following words: meta, name, owner: '', markdown_snippets, markdown_templates: [], true, Campaign, Locations, blurb, columns and system: custom. The file name my-campaign.tgn is typical for these files.

All other TGN files (5%) have no uniform format. If you want to find out what your TGN file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
