What is a .FRAMEWORK file?
The .FRAMEWORK file extension is associated with Mac OS X Application Frameworks. These are not single files but rather folders that contain important support materials for applications running on Mac OS X. Inside a .FRAMEWORK folder, you might find programs, libraries (which are collections of pre-written code that applications can use), or references that point to other files necessary for an application to work properly. Typically, these .FRAMEWORK folders are found within a specific location in a Mac OS X application package, specifically in the Contents/Frameworks directory.
When it comes to opening or accessing these .FRAMEWORK folders, you don't need a special program. Since they are essentially folders, you can open them directly in Mac OS X just like any other folder. By navigating to the Contents/Frameworks folder within an application's package content, you can view the contents of the .FRAMEWORK folder. This can be useful for developers or those curious about the inner workings of an application.
