The cpxml file extension is associated with IBM Research and IBM ABLE.
A cpxml file specifies a state machine and identifies the message schemas used by that state machine. The file is stored as plain text in an XML-based format.
IBM ABLE is obsolete, so cpxml files are unlikely to be created by current software.
Because cpxml files are plain-text XML files, they can be opened for viewing in any text or source-code editor.
To use the state machine data rather than simply inspect it, the file requires the original IBM ABLE software, which is obsolete.
No conversion method is specified for cpxml files. Because they describe a state machine and its message schemas, conversion to another format requires interpreting the XML data.
