project_file.gxw
    The GX Developer project file to inspect.

GXDITView is a command-line utility designed to inspect project files created by Mitsubishi's GX Developer software. It provides a way to extract information from these binary files, which are typically used for PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programming. GXDITView allows users to view various aspects of the project, such as ladder diagrams, device configurations, comments, and other embedded data. This command is useful for reverse engineering, auditing, or documenting GX Developer projects without the need for the proprietary GX Developer software itself. It enables users to automate project analysis, perform batch processing, or integrate project data into other systems. Its capabilities are limited to reading project files; it does not offer modification or creation functionality.

GXDITView only supports read-only operations. It does not allow modification or creation of GX Developer project files.

The output format and level of detail may vary depending on the version of GX Developer and the complexity of the project file.

While GXDITView aims to support a wide range of GX Developer versions, compatibility may vary.

It's recommended to test with different versions to ensure accurate results.

The command might not be actively maintained.

GX Developer projects are stored as binary files with the .gxw extension. This command allow to read and decode the content of the project.

The format itself is proprietary.

GXDITView was developed to provide an open-source solution for analyzing Mitsubishi GX Developer project files. It emerged as a response to the lack of publicly available tools for reverse engineering and inspecting these proprietary binary formats. The development history reflects an effort to understand the intricate structure of GX Developer project files and extract meaningful information from them.
