File extension io is associated with the Modula-3, a programming language. The io file stores objects.
Modula-3 is used in research circles (influencing the designs of languages such as Java, C#, and Python) it has not been adopted widely in industry.
It was designed by Luca Cardelli, Jim Donahue, Mick Jordan, Bill Kalsow and Greg Nelson at the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Systems Research Center (SRC) and Olivetti in the late 1980s.
You cannot access these files manually.
There is probably no real way how you can convert this particular file type to anything else.

The io file extension is also occasionally used for one of the compressed archives created using the CPIO archiver. Linux file.
The cpio software utility was meant as a tape archiver that was originally part of PWB/UNIX, and that was also part of UNIX System III and UNIX System V.
However, the use of its Research Unix counterpart, tar, and the freely available versions thereof, are widely considered to be a better solution. cpio's use by the RPM Package Manager and by the Linux kernel 2.6 series' initramfs continues to make cpio an important archive format.
Use compatible tools to work with *.io files.
Probably cannot be converted to other formats.

The io file extension is related to the Io language and used for its script files.
Io is a small, prototype-based programming language. The ideas in Io are mostly inspired by Smalltalk (all values are objects, all messages are dynamic), Self (prototype-based), NewtonScript (differential inheritance), Act1 (actors and futures for concurrency), LISP (code is a runtime inspectable/modifiable tree) and Lua (small, embeddable).
