Frequently asked questions

What is a .class file?

Compiled Java bytecode produced from .java source code, executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Can I edit a .class file?

Not directly as text — .class is a runnable or packaged format, not one meant for manual editing.

Does having a .class extension mean the file is safe?

No single extension can guarantee that. This runs code directly on your system when opened. Only install or run software from sources you trust, and consider scanning it with antivirus software first. Always consider where the file came from, not just its name.
