Open SAZ File

In the world of digital files, there are various formats that are specific to different functions, each with their unique extensions. Among them is the SAZ file extension. This type of file is associated with programs like Fiddler, a free networking analysis software. Users can export their captured traffic and save it as SAZ file for later use. It's worth noting that SAZ files are zipped archives that contain HTTP archive files (HAR) which can easily be viewed using a text editor.

How to Open SAZ Files

The most common way to open SAZ files is by using the Fiddler software. Users of this program can simply access their Menu, select File, then choose Import Sessions. From there, you would simply need to browse and locate your .SAZ files and import accordingly. The relevant website for Fiddler provides more detailed information and support.

SAZ File: Possible Formats

Generally, SAZ files contain HAR files. These are JSON formatted, making it quick and easy for users to access., view, and even edit.
