What is a NIX file?
A NIX file is a project created by Niotron IDE, a web-based IDE for building .AIX extensions for MIT App Inventor. It contains all of the project information, including components and functions. Users can save NIX files, close them, and then re-open them for further editing; they can then compile them as AIX extensions.
