Convert WRI to XML

The WRI file extension stands for Microsoft Write Document, a text document format created using Microsoft Write, a basic word processor included in early versions of Windows (Windows 1.0 to Windows NT 3.51). WRI files typically contain styled text and page formatting information, such as formatted letters or resumes. Microsoft discontinued Write with the release of Windows 95, replacing it with Microsoft WordPad, which led to the decline in the use of WRI files. Despite this, several modern word processing programs can still open and convert WRI files to more common formats like DOCX, RTF, and TXT.

XML, or Extensible Markup Language, is a widely used file extension in computer technology. It is designed to store and transport data, enabling structured information exchange between different systems. XML files are both human- and machine-readable, making them versatile for various applications, including web services, configuration files, and data storage. Originating in the 1990s, XML was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to simplify data interchange and ensure platform independence. Its flexibility and extensibility have made it a standard in many IT environments, fostering seamless integration and data sharing across diverse platforms.
