Date updated: July 15, 2022

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