XFL is a XML-based file format for Adobe Flash Professional; introduced since version CS5.

XFL is a XML-based file format for Adobe Flash Professional, introduced since version CS5. Its purpose is to unwrap the document data, describing all objects on stage and library and what they are composed to, down to links to external images/fonts and instructions to draw vector lines & curves. It creates each object as a separate XML file in a structure mirroring an open Flash Professional document.

It is known to not be completely XML, with an extra /bin folder holding compressed data files that are actually read into Flash Professional when loading.
