CLASS file extension - Java bytecode class
What is class file? How to open class files?
File extension class 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 types:
