The format specifications are free and open. ConciseXML parsers are strongly encouraged to be open source. The associated MIME type is text/cxs.
A cxs file can be opened as text in a text editor to inspect its contents. To interpret the file as ConciseXML data, use a compatible ConciseXML parser or application.
