Convert HWP (Hanword) to FODT

The HWP file extension stands for Hangul Word Processor, a document format used by Hancom's Hangul (now Hanword) software, popular in South Korea for creating and editing documents in Korean. Initially released in 1989, HWP files support text, graphics, and formatting, making them versatile for various document types. They are widely used by South Korean government agencies, educational institutions, and businesses. The HWP format is considered legacy, and Hancom has introduced HWPX as its modern successor, offering improved compatibility and XML-based structure for better interoperability.

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.
