hprof file format

Does anyone know a reference for the .hprof (binary heap dumps) file format?

Does anyone know libraries that handle .hprof files? I know that hat does that and also VisualVM through a NetBeans plugin. But are there others?

You could try the SAP Memory Analyzer.

Adamski, thanks for the link.I browsed the source and in the AbstractParser class I found a reference to https://heap-snapshot.dev.java.net/files/documents/4282/31543/hprof-binary-format.htmlSo, I guess for the file format reference, that's the answer.
