Convert FODT to TEXT

The FODT file extension stands for OpenDocument Flat XML Document, primarily used for text documents. These files contain plain XML text, which makes them more accessible for version control and easier to integrate with software systems. OpenDocument, initially developed by OASIS in 2005, provides an open standard for office documents, ensuring compatibility and interoperability across various applications. FODT files, a subset of this standard, offer a simplified and flexible format for document exchange and storage, enhancing collaboration and consistency in document management within professional IT environments.

The TEXT file extension, is a format used for representing text data without any formatting or binary elements. Originating from the early days of computing, plain text files are utilized for scripting, configuration files, log files, and source code documentation due to their universal readability and ease of creation. They are compatible across different operating systems and software applications, making them essential for data interoperability and communication in various IT and development environments.
