Comma-Separated Values (CSV) is a plain-text format for tabular data. Each line is a row, and commas separate the columns, with the first line usually holding the column headings. There is no formatting, no formulas, and no multiple sheets — just the data itself. That simplicity is the point: almost every spreadsheet program, database, and analytics tool in existence can import and export CSV, which makes it the default choice for moving data between systems.
Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice Calc all open CSV files directly and lay them out as a proper table.
Watch out for two common problems: Excel may convert long numbers or codes into dates, and files that use semicolons or tabs instead of commas need the right delimiter chosen during import. Use the Data → From Text/CSV import wizard rather than double-clicking to control this. To see the raw contents, open the file in any text editor, or convert it with our CSV to XLSX tool.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a text-based format for storing structured data in a way that both people and software can read. Data is wrapped in tags that you define yourself, so an XML file describes not just values but what each value means. XML underpins a huge amount of everyday computing: Office documents, RSS feeds, SVG graphics, sitemaps, and countless configuration files are all XML underneath.
Any web browser will display an XML file as a collapsible tree, which is the fastest way to inspect one. Simply drag the file into Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
For editing, use a text editor with syntax highlighting such as Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code, both of which validate the structure and reformat messy files. Microsoft Excel can import XML as a table when the file holds tabular data. Never rename an XML to another extension expecting it to work — the tags define its meaning. You can also convert the file with our XML to PDF tool.
