What is a Excel (XLSX) file?
XLSX is the Excel workbook format introduced with Office 2007. It stores one or more worksheets of cells with values, formulas, formatting, charts and defined names in a ZIP of XML parts. Formulas are recalculated by the program that opens the file.
Strengths
- Keeps formulas, number formats, multiple sheets and charts
- Opens in Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets and Numbers
- Handles large tables (over a million rows per sheet)
Limitations
- Printed layout depends on page setup and can split tables awkwardly
- Macros require the separate .xlsm format
- Not human-readable without a spreadsheet program
Typical uses: Budgets, financial models and data analysis; Lists and tables that will be sorted or filtered; Source data for charts and reports.
What is a XML file?
XML is a text format for structured, tagged data, standardised by the W3C in 1998. Elements can nest and carry attributes, schemas can validate them, and it underpins DOCX, XLSX, SVG and many enterprise data exchange formats.
Strengths
- Strict structure that can be validated against a schema
- Widely supported in enterprise systems and publishing
- Human-readable and self-describing
Limitations
- Verbose; larger than JSON for the same data
- Layout of the source document is not represented
- Requires agreement on element names to be useful
Typical uses: Data exchange with enterprise and government systems; Publishing pipelines; Structured archives of document content.
