XLS

Microsoft Excel Binary File Format

The XLS file format is a binary file format used by Microsoft Excel to store spreadsheet data, including text, numbers, formulas, and formatting. It is supported by various spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, and Apache OpenOffice, as well as online tools like Google Sheets. The format organizes data into worksheets with rows and columns, supports advanced features like macros, charts, and conditional formatting, and is part of the broader Excel ecosystem, though it has been largely replaced by the XML-based XLSX format.

XML

Extended Markup Language

XML is a widely used file format designed to store and transport structured data in a human-readable and machine-readable format. It is commonly utilized in web services, configuration files, and data exchange between applications, with tools like text editors, web browsers, and specialized XML parsers supporting its use. The format is based on a hierarchical tree structure with custom tags, attributes, and namespaces, enabling advanced features like schema validation (XSD), transformations (XSLT), and querying (XPath) for enhanced data manipulation and interoperability.
