Convert GAML to another file type

To convert GAML Models to another format, you need Agilent MassHunter or other Data software.

Convert a file to GAML

To convert other file formats to the "Analytical Data & Modeling" file type, you need software like Agilent MassHunter or a similar tool.


About GAML files

The .GAML file extension primarily represents General Analytical Markup Language files. These files store scientific instrument data, often generated by Agilent systems like MassHunter Qualitative Analysis. It is an XML-based format used heavily in chromatography and mass spectrometry. A secondary use for .GAML files is as scripting files for the GAMA Platform, where they define complex agent-based models used in projects like CityScope. You usually need to convert .GAML files because they are highly specialized and restrictive. If you do not have a licensed copy of Agilent MassHunter or the GAMA environment, these files are practically useless. The analytical data files are massive, complex, and difficult to parse manually. Sharing this scientific data with colleagues who use different laboratory software often requires conversion to a universal format. The best target formats are standard text-based formats like XML, CSV, or TXT. Converting to CSV allows you to open the raw mass spectrometry data in Microsoft Excel or Python for independent statistical analysis. However, converting these files often means losing the specialized formatting, metadata, and graphical representations provided by the original software. Opening or converting a .GAML file is notoriously difficult. The analytical variant often relies on proprietary, undocumented schemas despite being based on standard XML. Often, only the original analytical software can properly read or export the full dataset. Just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the format, inspect the internal text structure, and convert it when possible if our analysis detects a supported underlying format.

Convert.Guru analyzes your GAML file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The GAML 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 GAML converter.
