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.

 

How to open an XML file?

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.

Plain Text (TXT) is the simplest document format there is: nothing but characters, with no fonts, colours, images, or layout information of any kind. What a TXT file does carry is a character encoding — today almost always UTF-8 — which determines how the bytes map to letters. Because there is no hidden structure, TXT is the most portable and durable format available, readable on every computer ever made.

 

How to open a TXT file?

Every operating system opens TXT out of the box: Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, and gedit or nano on Linux. Web browsers display them too.

 

For large files or code, a proper editor such as Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, or Sublime Text is much faster and lets you change the encoding if the text appears garbled. Odd symbols usually mean the file was saved in a different encoding than the one your editor assumed. To hand a plain-text document to someone in a formatted form, use our TXT to PDF tool.
