Other/File Extensions

Native SUMO Files
To ease the usage of the supplied files, all of which are within a XML-derivate, we use a naming convention for the file extensions to allow a distinction between the contents at first sight. The list of used extensions is shown below. We of course highly encourage you to use this pattern.

 * *.sumocfg (formerly .sumo.cfg): Configuration file for SUMO and SUMO-GUI (xsd)
 * *.netccfg (formerly .netc.cfg): Configuration file for NETCONVERT (xsd)
 * *.netgcfg (formerly .netg.cfg): Configuration file for NETGENERATE (xsd)
 * *.duarcfg (formerly .rou.cfg): Configuration file for DUAROUTER (xsd)
 * *.jtrrcfg (formerly .jtr.cfg): Configuration file for JTRROUTER (xsd)
 * *.dfrocfg (formerly .df.cfg): Configuration file for DFROUTER (xsd)
 * *.od2tcfg (formerly .od2t.cfg): Configuration file for OD2TRIPS (xsd)
