About NUSPEC files
A .nuspec file is an XML-based manifest used by Microsoft NuGet to define the metadata and dependencies of a software package. Think of it as the "recipe" for a .NET library: it lists the package ID, version, authors, license, and the specific files (like DLL) that should be included, but it does not contain the actual compiled code itself. Developers often deal with issues because .nuspec files are strictly formatted XML; a single missing tag or invalid character prevents the package from building. Furthermore, you cannot directly "install" a .nuspec file into a project - it must first be compiled ("packed") into a nupkg file. For viewing and debugging, users often convert the raw XML to JSON or Text to make the dependency tree readable. To actually use the library, the .nuspec must be converted (packed) into a nupkg archive using the NuGet CLI.
Convert.Guru analyzes your NUSPEC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted NUPKG, CS, SLN, RC and CSPROJ files.
The NUSPEC 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 NUSPEC converter.
