What is a WEBPART file

WEBPART files mostly belong to Microsoft SharePoint. WEBPART files are configuration files used in Microsoft SharePoint to manage web part settings. They store XML data in UTF-8 format that details the layout, functionality, and appearance of web parts on a SharePoint page.
These files are designed to control the elements you see on a page by defining which content or controls are loaded.

Microsoft SharePoint
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. WEBPART files are often referred to as Microsoft SharePoint settings because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
SharePoint (Web Part) by Microsoft Corporation
Office SharePoint Designer provides tools to automate business processes, build efficient applications on top of the Microsoft SharePoint platform, and tailor SharePoint sites. Beginning with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, the SharePoint Web Part infrastructure is built on top of the Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 Web Part infrastructure and Web Parts that derive from the ASP.NET WebPart class are completely supported in SharePoint. You create Web Parts in Microsoft Visual C# or Microsoft Visual Basic by using the Web Part Library template in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Related links: Creating a Basic SharePoint Web Part

WEBPART file format:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our examination of the WEBPART files comes to the following conclusion:

WEBPART is rarely used as a file extension and is mainly used by one program with a specific format. The two most common formats are as follows:

85% of all WEBPART files are SharePoint Web Part files, which are using the popular XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files contain text and words, not binary data. The files are on average 2 KB in size and range from 630 bytes to 7 KB. It is a modern file type. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as <metaData>, <webPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v3">, <webParts>, type name, Version, <?xml version="1.0", SharePoint, encoding and utf-8. A common filename is InfoPath Form Web Part.webpart. Files like these are sometimes connected to info, path, form and links.
10% of all WEBPART files are using the well-known XML file format to store the data. These files contain text and words, not binary data. The average file size is 880 bytes with most files being between 630 bytes and 1 KB in size. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>, <metaData>, <webPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v3">, <webParts> and type name.

The remaining 5% of all WEBPART files are files with no common format. Just click the "Choose your .webpart file to view" button on this page to find out what your WEBPART file is.
