Click the "Select File" button above, and choose your EDN file.
You’ll see a preview, if available.
Click the "Convert file to..." button to extract text information.
Convert EDN to another file type
To convert EDN data files to another format, you need Clojure or other Developer software.
Convert a file to EDN
To convert other file formats to the "Data Exchange Format" file type, you need software like Clojure or a similar tool.
About EDN files
The .edn file primarily contains Extensible Data Notation, a data transfer format originally designed as a subset of the Clojure programming language. It is also heavily utilized by the Logseq note-taking application as a Datascript knowledge graph database. Secondarily, .edn files can act as an Electronic Design Interchange Format (EDIF) netlist used by enterprise Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software like Siemens Xpedition and Xilinx. Despite its technical superiority in handling rich data types like sets and UUIDs, the .edn format suffers from poor interoperability outside the Clojure ecosystem. It lacks native support in web browsers and requires specialized parser libraries to read programmatically. For EDIF netlist variants, files often exceed 100MB and require enterprise subscriptions to open natively. For web use and cross-language compatibility, convert your data to JSON or YAML. If you need human-readable archiving, convert to CSV or TXT. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EDN file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert EDN file to JSON, DWG, DXF, DGN, RVT, RFA, SKP, 3DM, STEP, IGES, SAT or X_T, you can use Clojure or similar software from the "Data Transfer and Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SLDASM, DGN, PRT, IAM, X_B, CATPRODUCT, SLDPRT, RVT, ASM, DWG, CATPART or DXF files to EDN, try Clojure or another comparable tool in the "Data Transfer and Storage" category.
The EDN Converter Story
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 EDN converter.
