Format Details
INI
INI is a simple, human-readable configuration file format that originated with early versions of Microsoft Windows. It organizes settings into named sections enclosed in square brackets, with key-value pairs defined below each section header. INI files are easy to read and edit by hand, making them a popular choice for application configuration across Windows, Linux, and cross-platform software projects.
XLS
XLS is the legacy binary spreadsheet format used by Microsoft Excel from 1987 through the Office 2003 era, based on Microsoft's proprietary Binary Interchange File Format (BIFF). It stores worksheets, formulas, charts, and macros in a binary structure that requires Microsoft's format specification to parse correctly. XLS remains common in older enterprise systems and when compatibility with legacy versions of Excel is required.
