What is a .IML file?
An .IML file is a type of settings file specifically used by IntelliJ IDEA, which is a program designed for developing Java applications. This file contains important details about a module within a Java application, such as whether the module is for Java itself, a plugin, an Android app, or a Maven project. It includes information like the type of module, where the files are located, what other files or projects it depends on, and various other configuration settings.
To open an .IML file, you can use JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA or Google Android Studio, as these programs are specifically designed to work with Java and Android development projects. Additionally, since .IML files are essentially text-based, you can also view them using any basic text editor like Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, or any similar program. If you are using a Chromebook, you can open .IML files directly in the Chrome OS text editor.
