All files created by GenericFX must be in XML format. XML element descriptors should use the prefix gfx and namsepace http://genericfx.org/namespace.
At present, the data saved by GenericFX includes the pipeline and locators for the information the pipeline is to process (data inside the input spreadsheet).
In the future, these XML files may be zipped to reduce size footprint. In this case, the pipeline and data will reside in separate files inside the zip file.
| Extension | Description |
|---|---|
| pml | Partial Information. The file contains only partial information. |
| epl | The file contains all the information needed about the pipeline and its data. |
