Format Details
SAV
SAV is the binary data file format native to IBM SPSS Statistics, one of the most widely used statistical analysis packages in social science, healthcare, and market research. It stores datasets together with complete variable metadata including names, labels, value labels, missing value codes, and measurement scales. SAV files are essential for sharing reproducible SPSS analyses and are also readable by R, Python, and SAS through compatibility libraries.
TXT
TXT (Plain Text) is the simplest possible file format, containing only unformatted characters encoded in ASCII or Unicode with no styling, images, or structural metadata. It is universally compatible with every operating system, programming language, text editor, and application that handles text. Plain text is used for source code, configuration files, README documents, log files, and any situation where maximum simplicity and portability are required.
