KON File Extension
Yahoo! Widget XML File – file format by Yahoo!
KON is a file extension for Yahoo! Widget XML File, a type of file developed by Yahoo! for storing widget data and settings. These files are used to store various information related to widgets, including their appearance, functionality, and associated data.
Definition of a KON File (Yahoo! Widget XML File)
A KON file is an XML-based file format used to store Yahoo! Widgets. Yahoo! Widgets are small, customizable desktop applications that provide quick access to information, entertainment, and other utilities. KON files contain the code, data, and layout information necessary for widgets to function. They enable users to create, share, and install widgets on their desktops.
Structure and Contents of a KON File
KON files are structured in XML format, which uses tags and attributes to organize data. The root element of a KON file is the “” element, which contains various sub-elements that define the widget’s properties, such as its size, position, behavior, and content. The “” element holds the HTML and JavaScript code that provides the widget’s functionality and visual appearance. Additional sub-elements, such as ““, “<Author>“, and “<Description>“, provide metadata and other information about the widget. KON files also support the use of external resources, such as images, CSS files, and JavaScript libraries, which are referenced within the file.</p>
<p><strong>Yahoo! Widgets and KON Files</strong></p>
<p>KON files are XML-based files that store the data and settings for Yahoo! Widgets. Yahoo! Widgets were small applications that could be added to a user’s desktop or website to provide quick access to information or functionality. They were popular in the early 2000s but have since been discontinued. As a result, KON files are no longer widely used.</p>
<p><strong>Opening KON Files</strong></p>
<p>KON files can be opened using any text editor, such as Notepad or TextEdit. However, this will only display the XML code, which is not very user-friendly. To view the widget in its intended form, you would need to use a Yahoo! Widget viewer. Unfortunately, Yahoo! no longer provides a widget viewer, so it is not possible to open KON files in this way.</p>
<p><strong>Technical Specifications of KON Files</strong></p>
<p>KON files are XML-based files that contain the data necessary to define and display a Yahoo! Widget. They include information such as the widget’s name, description, author, version, and the HTML and JavaScript code that defines its functionality. KON files also contain references to external files, such as images, stylesheets, and JavaScript libraries.</p>
<p>To create a KON file, developers typically use a specialized editing tool or the Yahoo! Widget Development Kit (YDK). The YDK is a set of software tools that simplifies the process of creating and testing widgets. Once a KON file is created, it can be uploaded to the Yahoo! Widgets Gallery for public distribution or shared privately with other users.</p>
