The psmdcp file extension is associated with NuGet, Microsoft's package manager for development projects, including projects based on Microsoft .NET.
A psmdcp file contains metadata and information associated with a package. NuGet uses this information as part of its internal package-management operations rather than as a standalone document.
NuGet is available on Microsoft Windows. The psmdcp format is intended for internal use by NuGet, so it is not normally opened or edited directly by users.
The psmdcp file is used internally by NuGet and normally does not need to be opened manually. NuGet should handle it automatically when the related package-management operation requires it.
NuGet does not provide a general-purpose editor for this file type.
Conversion of a psmdcp file to other formats is not possible.
