The WSDD format is a specialized configuration file originally developed by the Apache Software Foundation for the Apache Axis web services framework. It is primarily used to define service parameters, deployment metadata, and operational logic within legacy Java-based server environments. Although the associated file signature suggests a relationship with TeX-based documentation systems, the format is categorized as a safe plain text resource and is largely considered obsolete in modern service-oriented architectures.

How to validate .wsdd files in Python

Python
def is_wsdd(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid WSDD by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x54, 0x68, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x54, 0x65, 0x58, 0x2C])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(12) == signature

How to validate .wsdd files in Node.js

Node.js
function isWSDD(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x54, 0x68, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x54, 0x65, 0x58, 0x2C]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 12).equals(signature);
}
Go
func IsWSDD(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x54, 0x68, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x54, 0x65, 0x58, 0x2C}
    if len(data) < 12 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:12], signature)
}
