Format Details
ODS
ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) is the open standard spreadsheet format developed by OASIS, used natively by LibreOffice Calc and Apache OpenOffice Calc. It stores spreadsheet data, formulas, charts, and formatting in XML compressed within a ZIP archive, ensuring transparency and long-term accessibility. ODS is a fully open, non-proprietary alternative to Microsoft Excel's XLS and XLSX formats and is supported by Google Sheets.
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.
