v8unpack-cf

You can unpack 1C configuration files (CF/CFE/EPF) into human-readable JSON and BSL source code using Python without needing the 1C platform. This allows you to inspect metadata trees and perform configuration audits directly from the extracted sources.

Yes, you can rebuild 1C binaries from source files. The tool supports packing the extracted JSON and BSL sources back into CF, CFE, or EPF binary files, enabling you to import changes into the system and prepare for migrations.

No, you do not need the 1C platform installed to extract CF or EPF file sources. The tool processes and unpacks the binary configurations independently using Python, providing JSON and BSL outputs for auditing and modification.

The best way to run 1C binary unpacking operations in Python is by executing the tool as a module using python -m v8unpack. You can use the -E mode for unpacking files and the -B mode for building them back, with flags like --descent and --temp for control.

Unpacking 1C CF files generates human-readable JSON and BSL source formats. The JSON files represent the metadata tree structure, while BSL files contain the 1C proprietary source code, making both accessible for version control and review.

Using Python to unpack 1C binaries avoids the overhead of the native platform when you only need to audit or migrate configurations. It directly extracts metadata and BSL code into source files, streamlining integration into development workflows and version control systems.
