Amaya configuration file
File type: Settings, options, themes or skins file
An .schemas file is a configuration file used by Amaya, the Web editor and browser from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
It contains information that Amaya uses as part of its configuration and is not normally a document intended for direct editing.

The .schemas file extension is associated with Amaya, a Web authoring and browsing application developed by the W3C. The file belongs to Amaya's configuration data rather than to a user-facing document format.
Amaya uses the file as part of its internal configuration when running on Microsoft Windows. Its contents should be treated as application-specific; other programs generally cannot use them as an equivalent configuration file.
Amaya is legacy software and is no longer actively developed. The .schemas format is therefore mainly encountered in existing Amaya installations or archived application data.
On Microsoft Windows, open the file with Amaya if the installation requires it. Amaya may read configuration files from its expected location rather than opening them as documents.
To inspect the contents, use a plain-text editor. Avoid changing or moving the file unless the effect on the Amaya installation is understood.
An .schemas file is an application-specific configuration file and has no useful standard conversion to another format.
If Amaya is replaced or its configuration must be transferred, the practical approach is to recreate the relevant settings in the other application rather than convert this file.
