- 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.
- The xlsb file type is a binary file format used to store Excel spreadsheets. It is a compressed version of the xlsx file type and can only be opened in the Microsoft Excel application. Compared to the xlsx, the xlsb format is much smaller in size and is less prone to corruption.
