About SWIDTAG files

SWIDTAG files, associated with Software Identification (SWID) Tags, play a crucial role in software asset management by providing detailed information about installed software products. These files are standardized by the ISO/IEC 19770 standard and are essential for effective software inventory management.

While SWIDTAG files are beneficial for software identification, they can be challenging to convert due to their XML-based structure. Popular software like XML editors and Adobe Dreamweaver can be used to view and manually edit these files, but conversion requires more specialized tools.

SWIDTAG files can be converted to several formats such as .xml, .json, or .txt. However, converting these files while preserving their intricate data structure can be quite complex. Specialized software like Altova XMLSpy is recommended for handling such conversions.

Despite these possibilities, using SWIDTAG files comes with drawbacks. Their complexity can lead to errors during conversion, making it difficult to maintain data integrity. As a result, users are better off using a more streamlined and user-friendly solution.

The SWIDTAG Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best SWIDTAG converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
