Haxe is an open-source programming language and compiler toolkit maintained by the Haxe Foundation. The Haxe compiler translates Haxe source code into applications or source code for several target platforms and languages.
A typical .hx file contains part of a Haxe program. Haxe projects can contain multiple HX files along with build configuration and other project files. The format is plain text, so its contents can be inspected and edited without compiling it.
Haxe and its compiler are available for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux.
On Microsoft Windows, install Haxe to compile and work with .hx files. The Haxe compiler is a command-line tool rather than a document viewer, so use a text editor or a Haxe-compatible development environment to read or edit the source.
Because HX files are plain text, a general-purpose text editor can also open them on Windows, macOS and Linux.
There is no general-purpose conversion that turns an HX source file into another equivalent source format. The Haxe compiler can compile or translate Haxe code for supported target languages and platforms, but the resulting files are build output rather than converted HX files.
To produce such output, compile the file as part of its Haxe project and use the project's build configuration and dependencies.

The hx file extension is associated with the Amira, a 3D software for Microsoft Windows that enables users to visualizing, manipulating, and understanding data from computed tomography, microscopy etc.
The hx file stores 3D mesh created in Amira.
Use Amira to open *.hx mesh files.
Possibly can be exported to other formats.
