What is CLASS file extension:

The CLASS file extension is commonly used for Java Classes.  In the Java programming language, source files (.java files) are compiled into (virtual) machine-readable *.class files.

Since Java is a platform-independent language, source code is compiled into an output file known as bytecode, which it stores in a .class file. If a source file has more than one class, each class is compiled into a separate .class file, which can be loaded by any Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

MIME: application/java, application/java-byte-code, application/octet-stream, application/x-java-class, application/x-java.vm

Java is a set of developing applications and specifications used to create software in Java programming language. Java is used on many computing platforms from desktop computers to mobile phones. Java source code derives much syntax from  C and C++ programming language but has a simpler object model. To run applications written in Java the Java runtime environment must be installed on a device.
