Tips to open JSONP file
Can't open the JSONP file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open JSONP files as well as a list of programs that support JSONP files.
JSONP file extension
The JSONP file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the JSONP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the JSONP file on each system platform.
What is JSONP file?
The JSONP file has been categorized as Developer Files. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. JSON-with-padding Source Code is supported by 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. The Windows Notepad application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Microsoft Corporation. There are also 3 alternative programs to handle the JSONP file. You can use TextEdit, gedit, NotePad++ text editor in case Windows Notepad cannot be used.
How to open JSONP file?
An often recurring problem with JSON-with-padding Source Code is that JSONP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that JSONP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JSONP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Windows Notepad
In this case, you should first verify that the Windows Notepad application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Windows Notepad into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file JSONP with Windows Notepad. Below you will find a list of applications that support JSONP files.
Programs to open JSONP file
Remember to download programs supporting JSONP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with JSONP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JSONP file to open in the Windows Notepad application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JSONP file with the Windows Notepad application.
Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Windows Notepad program, it is possible that JSON-with-padding Source Code requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JSONP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the JSONP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JSONP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected JSONP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the JSONP files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JSONP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JSONP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the JSONP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JSONP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JSONP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
