| Description | 🔵 XLS – is a spreadsheet created by a popular Microsoft Excel application. It includes document data that is located in cells that have a specific address. They can contain formulas, mathematical equations associated with the information in other cells, and fixed information. It is often used for the development of graphs and charts. The format allows us to store and edit a broad range of parameters — images, tables, macros, types, diagrams. It has been widely used until the appearance of the 2007 version of Excel, and then it was replaced with the XMLSS extension. The information inside the XLS document is contained in a series of static-size streams. Their location is described using several segment distribution tables. It differs in backward compatibility and supports various file formats created for DOS. It is often used by web browsers to exclude the use of binary formats. The utility is included in the Microsoft Office suite and, in addition to Excel, can be opened by various applications like Apache Open Office, Libre Office, adapted to Mac OS, Windows, or Linux. |
| Technical details | 🔵 The format’s relevance is explained by its simplicity, although it does not support separate functions, for example, storing VBA macros. Until XMLSS appeared, the Excel application used the Biff extension when formatting, created based on the IFF container format. Due to this, changes to the book templates and their contents were available. After introducing the new format in 2007, the program has not lost the backward compatible properties, which guarantees the wide distribution of XLS in the future. Subsequently, the XLS extension was replaced by the XLSM, XLSB, and XLSX formats. |

| Description | 🔵 XML is a file format that holds a markup language. Both humans and machines can access this file format. It is designed to store data. Here one can use languages independently and can set his tag. It is portable enough and has enough vendor independence, which has introduced this format as a user-friendly format and made this format very popular on the online platform. XML is essential, like HTML. |
| Technical details | 🔵 Every XML file owns a root structure by which users can set their tags. Every single XML file begins with XML declaration. XML declaration has its version name and encoding of that specific file. After that, a base element called the root element is defined. The root element may have child elements. All tags have their ending tag. XML files may carry comments, entity references, and attributes. Applications can read the values and display the users want. |

XLS Document Format
XLS Converter
The XLS file format was developed by Microsoft for its Excel spreadsheet program. XLS is a binary spreadsheet format that can include cell data and formulas, as well as charts and macros. Excel is one of the most popular software programs for recording, organising, calculating and analysing data. It’s often used for budgeting and reporting.
Microsoft introduced the new XLSX format for Excel in 2007, to replace XLS. However, you can still open XLS files in newer versions of Excel, as well as saving XLSX files into this older format. Excel is part of Microsoft’s Office suite, which is available as a one-off software purchase or an Office 365 subscription. Other spreadsheet programs that can usually open XLS files include Google Sheets, Apple Numbers and LibreOffice Calc.

XML Document Format
XML is a file type containing a markup language. This is readable by both a human user and an application. Designed to be a store data, rather than display data, it is a platform independent language and allows users to define their own tags. Its portability and vendor independence have made this a hugely popular file format, particularly online. XML allows structure to be given to data which allows other applications to interpret and process the data within an XML file. XML is considered as important to the web as HTML.

Excel files are a different format to XML files. Excel XLS or XLXS files are spreadsheets designed to be opened by the Microsoft Excel program. XML is a mark-up language for storing and sharing data, and is often used in web pages. It’s simple to convert Excel data into XML using Microsoft Excel or a conversion tool like Zamzar.
If you have Excel, open the spreadsheet, select ‘Save As’ in the ‘File’ tab, then choose an XML format from the dropdown options. You can also easily convert Excel to XML with Zamzar – upload your file to the tool on Zamzar’s website, select to convert it to XML and then download the converted file.
A quick and secure way of converting XLS to XML is to use a file conversion tool like Zamzar. Simply upload your XLS file to the three-step tool on Zamzar’s website, click to convert it to XML format and then download the new file.
If you have Microsoft Excel on your device, you can also open an XLS spreadsheet with that, then use the ‘Save As’ function and choose ‘XML Data’ from the file types listed in the dropdown menu.
XLS and XML are not the same. They are different file formats for data. XLS is a file type for spreadsheets used in Microsoft Excel, whereas XML is a universal mark-up language for storing and sharing data online.
If you need to convert a document from XLS to XML, it’s easy to do using file conversion software or an online tool like Zamzar. Just upload an XLS file to the tool on Zamzar’s secure website, click to convert it to XML and then download the new file.
To open an XLS file as XML you will need to convert it first. You can do this for individual files by opening them in Microsoft Excel, then saving it as a new file and selecting an XML format from the dropdown options.
If you don’t have Excel or can’t/don’t want to open individual files, you can also convert from XLS to XML with online tools like the one on Zamzar’s website. Just upload an XLS file to Zamzar’s conversion tool and select to convert it to XML. You can then open your file as an XML file.
There are several ways to convert a file to XML including using file conversion software and websites like Zamzar.
In most text or data programs for Windows, Google or Apple operating systems, you can use the ‘Save As’ or ‘Export’ functions to convert your file to XML format. However, online file conversion tools let you convert files without opening them first or installing extra software. Simply upload one or more files to the free tool on Zamzar’s website, select to convert to XML and then download your converted files.
