File Extension

Flowgorithm source files have *.fprg file extensions. We can edit the *.fprg source file directly with text editors.

File Format

The Flowgorithm source files have an XML( eXtensible Markup Language ) structure. XML is a standard way of encoding data for processing and exchange across applications on the Web.

If you open the .fprg file in a text or XML editor, you find the format in XML.  Sample Hello World Flowchart XML file format under the hood:

<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<flowgorithm fileversion=”3.2″>
