The IntelliJ Platform stores the project configuration data in XML files. The list of those files depends on the chosen project format:

Project and workspace settings are stored in a number of XML files under the $project_home_directory$/.idea directory. Each XML file is responsible for its own set of settings and can be recognized by its name: projectCodeStyle.xml, encodings.xml, vcs.xml etc. As for the file-based format projects, .iml files describe modules.

Note that direct access to project files isn't required to load or save settings. See Persisting State of Components for more information.
