- The VSSX file format is based on the OpenOffice format adopted by Microsoft since 2007. It is based on the ZIP archive that represent the overall file format based on XML file format specifications. The binary file format equivalent of VSSX was VSS that was supported till Visio 2007. You can view the contents of VSSX file format by replacing its extension with .ZIP and open in any archiving file format such as WinZIP.
- VSDM files are based on the Open Packaging Conventions and XML and developers can benefit from this format by learning how to work with these file programmatically. The format inherits many of the same XML structures as its parts from the Visio XML Drawing file format (.vdx). Interoperability with Visio files is greatly increased since third-party software can manipulate Visio files at a file format level.
