What is a WML file?
WML is the extension given to files that contain code written in the WML programming language. It is an interpreted markup language based on XML. It is used to encode information (mainly websites and services) displayed on portable devices with low computing power.
The WML format is used by WAP (Wireless Application Environment), which is the page description language for this protocol.

How to open WML files
If you cannot open the WML file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports WML among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the WML file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the WML format files
The inability to open and operate the WML file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Wireless Markup Language Document (WAP) file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a WML file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the WML file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the WML from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the WML format
- The WML file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the WML file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a WML file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the WML file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the WML file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the WML file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.WML) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected WML file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the WML file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. WML) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
