- Description
- The FODS (OpenDocument Flat XML Spreadsheet) file format is a type of document file designed for storing spreadsheet data in a single, uncompressed XML file. It is part of the OpenDocument Format (ODF) family, an open standard for document files. Unlike the more common ODS format, which packages various components of the spreadsheet (such as XML files, metadata, and images) into a single, compressed ZIP file, FODS files store all the spreadsheet information in a flat XML file.
- DIF stands for Data Interchange Format that is used to import/export spreadsheets data between different applications. These include Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice Calc, StarCalc and many others. It stores data contained in a single spreadsheet which is the only limitation of this file format.
