What is the BEAM file format?
A file with the .BEAM extension is a file known as Compiled Erlang Code. It belongs to the Executable Files category. This format is associated with Ericsson.
The reliable way to open a .BEAM file is with software that recognises this exact format, rather than guessing from the file name. If you are not sure what created a file, our file identifier can read its first bytes and name the real format, even when the file has been renamed.
