Format Details
DOC
DOC is the legacy binary file format used by Microsoft Word for the Office 97-2003 era. It stores document content, formatting, images, and metadata in a proprietary binary structure. Although superseded by the modern XML-based DOCX format, DOC remains common in older archives and is supported for import by virtually all modern word processors and office suites.
XML
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a flexible, human-readable markup language defined by the W3C for structuring, storing, and transporting data across different systems. Unlike HTML, XML uses custom-defined tags chosen by the author to describe the semantic meaning of data, making it self-documenting and extensible. XML underpins numerous data formats, web services (SOAP), configuration standards, and document formats including SVG, DOCX, and RSS.
