The BOM file extension is used by Mac OS X to store information about the components that make up an application or system. It stands for Bill of Materials and functions as a cross-platform package that makes it easy to exchange component data between different systems and applications. The BOM file contains a list of components used in making up the application or system, such as files, folders, directories, frameworks, and HTML elements. This data is stored in a tabular format and can be read by any application or system that supports the BOM file type.
Components in a BOM File
A BOM file contains information about the various components that make up an application. This includes all elements needed for the application or system, from text, images, scripts, HTML coding, frameworks and other materials. Each component is cataloged with information about its location and type, such as the source directory or bundle for each item. This enables developers or users to determine exactly which items are needed for the application or system.
Viewing a BOM File
A BOM file can be viewed in text editor such as TextMate or TextEdit. Additionally software such as StuffIt Deluxe will allow users to open and view BOM files before or after they have been archived. Other similar file extensions for viewing information about components in an application include .marshal, .dmg, and .spx.
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BOM) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .BOM extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .BOM file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .BOM extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .BOM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BOM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BOM file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .BOM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BOM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BOM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
