Extract text from DISCO discovery output files (DISCOMAP)
To convert DISCOMAP Output files to another format, you need Microsoft Visual Studio or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Web Service Discovery File" file type, you need software like Microsoft Visual Studio or a similar tool.
The .discomap file is a Web Services Discovery Output file generated by the Microsoft disco.exe utility. Developers use it to store a localized map of discovered web service documents (such as WSDL and XSD files) found at a specific URL. Essentially, it acts as a directory or index used during the development of ASP.NET SOAP web services to keep track of external endpoint references.
Despite its obscure extension, the internal structure of a .discomap file is entirely standard XML. However, the specialized extension creates unnecessary usability problems. Operating systems and web browsers do not natively recognize the .discomap format, forcing users to manually associate it with an IDE like Microsoft Visual Studio or a dedicated code editor. Additionally, typical online file converters fail to process it because they expect standard consumer documents, not niche developer metadata.
To make the data accessible, converting .discomap to standard formats like XML or TXT is the best solution. This straightforward conversion restores immediate compatibility with all text editors and browsers without losing any of the raw code structure.
Because this file is a specialized development artifact, handling it outside of a coding environment is annoying. We can securely inspect the embedded text within the .discomap file, allowing you to bypass strict software requirements and immediately view or extract the XML data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DISCOMAP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert DISCOMAP file to HTML, HTM, CSS, JS, PHP, ASP, ASPX, JSP, JSPX, PY, RB or PL, you can use Microsoft Visual Studio or similar software from the "Web Service Endpoint Indexing" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RSS, CSS, CGI, SITEMAP, PL, WEBMANIFEST, JSON, JS, XML, HTML, ICO or HTM files to DISCOMAP, try Microsoft Visual Studio or another comparable tool in the "Web Service Endpoint Indexing" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our DISCOMAP converter.
