How to validate .sml files in Python

Python
def is_sml(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid SML by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x3A, 0x29, 0x0A])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(3) == signature

How to validate .sml files in Node.js

Node.js
function isSML(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x3A, 0x29, 0x0A]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 3).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .sml files in Go

Go
func IsSML(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x3A, 0x29, 0x0A}
    if len(data) < 3 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:3], signature)
}

How do I validate a .sml file?

To validate a .sml file, read the first bytes of the file and compare them against the known magic bytes (3A 29 0A) at offset 0. This is more reliable than checking the file extension alone, as extensions can be renamed.
