Convert JT to XML

What is JT file?

The .JT file extension is most commonly associated with the JT Open CAD software, a lightweight 3D modeling program developed by Siemens. This file format is an open source, neutral data format used to store and exchange 3D product models. JT Open CAD files are comprised of three-dimensional models with user attributes, detailed product geometry, and image data. JT Open CAD files are also used to represent product hierarchies and visual configurations. [ ⏩ ] JT file extension

What is XML file?

XML (XML) is a markup language used for exchanging, storing, and defining data. XML files are plain text files that contain specific instructions and can be read by the MS Windows, macOS, and Linux/Unix operating systems. XML data is easy to use with other software applications for further editing or data manipulation. Because of the universality of XML, it is the native language for messaging protocols, webpages and software programs. [ ⏩ ] XML file extension

How to convert the file from JT to XML?

To successfully convert the JT file to XML, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.JT). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case XML (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than XML).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. JT to XML. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting JT files to XML files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension XML, while before this step we had the JT file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new XML file, or not.
