DROID (Digital Record Object Identification) is a Java-based tool developed by The National Archives for the automated batch identification of digital file formats. Its primary use case is to facilitate digital preservation by accurately identifying stored digital objects and linking this identification to a comprehensive technical registry. Notable features include the ability to run via a GUI or command line interface, support for internal signatures to determine file formats, automatic updates from PRONOM's signature database, and customizable output formats, including CSV reports.
