Convert SXW to FODT

The SXW file extension stands for StarOffice XML Writer and is associated with the StarOffice and Apache OpenOffice Writer applications. Developed by Sun Microsystems, SXW files are based on the OpenDocument XML format and contain formatted text, images, tables, and other rich content similar to Microsoft Word's DOCX files. Although StarOffice has been discontinued, SXW files can still be opened with OpenOffice Writer.

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.
