What is a .ICA file?
The most common data format on the web.
An ICA file is a short, plain-text configuration file created by Citrix Systems. It tells the Citrix client which remote application or desktop to connect to; it is not the app itself. To open it, install Citrix Workspace app (the free client formerly called Citrix Receiver); double-clicking the .ica then starts the remote session automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Is my .ICA file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is opened directly from the copy you pick.
My .ICA file is invalid. Can you fix it?
We show the exact line and column of the first error. For common problems like comments, trailing commas, single quotes or Python-style True/False/None, click Try to repair and download the fixed file.
How large can the file be?
Up to 50 MB. The tree only builds the branches you open, so even multi-megabyte files stay responsive.
What is JSONPath?
A path like $.orders[3].customer.email that points to one value inside the data. Click any node to see its path and copy it for code, jq or your API docs.
Can I see my data as a table?
Yes. Any array of objects can be shown in the Table view and downloaded as CSV.
