OpenDocument Flat XML Spreadsheet (.fods)

The FODS (OpenDocument Flat XML Spreadsheet) file extension, developed by Oracle, is used for storing spreadsheet data in a plain XML format, making it more human-readable and easier to generate automatically without a spreadsheet editor. Unlike the more common ODS format, which uses a ZIP container, FODS files are not supported by Microsoft Excel but can be opened with OpenOffice Calc. This format was introduced as part of the ODF 1.2 specifications by OASIS.

Data Interchange Format (.dif)

The Data Interchange Format (DIF) file extension is a standardized format used primarily for importing and exporting spreadsheet data between different software applications. Originating in the 1980s, DIF was developed by Software Arts for their pioneering spreadsheet program, VisiCalc. Despite its age, DIF remains relevant due to its simplicity and ease of implementation, facilitating interoperability among various data processing tools. Its structured, plain text nature makes it particularly suitable for transferring tabular data while maintaining data integrity across different platforms.
