A PRJ file may also be a project created by dBASE, an IDE with database management capabilities. It contains plain text information about a project, such as settings and locations of files included in the project (e.g., forms, tables, queries, and bitmap images). Users typically open PRJ files with dBASE, but they may also view their contents with a text editor.
More Information
dBASE is a Windows program that provides various features for managing databases, building programs, and compiling them. When you develop an application with dBASE, you must create a project () that organizes the app's various components and then compile it into an executable (.EXE file).
In a project, you can configure an app build. For example, you can select its properties (e.g., set build options), instantly preview files via Project Explorer, and designate the app bitmap icon. After configuring your project, you can build it into an executable app by selecting .
dBASE saves PRJ files in the following directory, by default:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\dBASE\dBASE[version]\Bin
How to open a PRJ file
You can open PRJ files with dBASE in Windows. To open a PRJ file, select . You can also open a PRJ file via the Navigator (), click "Project," then double-click the PRJ file you want to open.
Opening a PRJ file with a text editor
Since PRJ files are saved in plain text, you can also open them with a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad (Windows) or Apple TextEdit (Mac). You may need to rename the .prj file extension to .txt for the text editor to recognize it.
When opened in a text editor, you can modify the PRJ file properties. However, if you incorrectly edit the file, you may inadvertently break the project.

A PRJ file may also be a project that contains information about an app or toolbox add-on created by The MathWorks MATLAB, a programming and numeric computing program for analyzing data, developing algorithms, and building models. It stores various information in an XML-like format, including project settings and files included with the app or toolbox as you package it for distribution. MATLAB users save projects as PRJ files and can close and reopen them, allowing them to resume where they previously ended.
More Information
MATLAB is specialized software with a numerical computing environment and dedicated programming language that engineers and scientists use in various fields, such as machine learning, robotics, and biological sciences. The software allows you to develop apps and toolbox add-ons to enhance the capabilities for your specific needs. As you package these tools for distribution, you can save your progress as projects (PRJ files).
For example, when packaging an app you developed, you will select in the tab, then describe your app by entering the app name, author, and description. You will also add the files that make up your app.
During this process, you can save the entered information as a PRJ file. This capability is helpful if you need to quit MATLAB before packaging the app into an .MLAPPINSTALL file, then reopen it to resume the process.
How to open a PRJ file
You can open a PRJ file with The MathWorks MATLAB. To open a PRJ file, select from the tab. You can also PRJ files in MATLAB's app- and toolbox-packaging windows.
