A Microsoft Project XML file is a project schedule saved from Microsoft Project in its MSPDI XML interchange format. Its root element is Project in the http://schemas.microsoft.com/project namespace, holding tasks, resources, assignments and calendars.
MPX, Microsoft Exchange File Format, is an ASCII file format for transferring of project information between Microsoft Project (MSP) and other applications that support the MPX file format such as Primavera Project Planner, Sciforma and Timerline Precision Estimating. The MPX file format allows you to transfer project information that cannot appear in a table, such as detailed resource assignment information, calendar information, or information in the Project Info dialog box.
