Information about ODS and CSV file formats
| Name | ODS | CSV |
| Full name | ODS - OpenDocument Spreadsheet | CSV - Comma-Separated Values |
| File extension | .ods, .fods | .csv |
| MIME type | application/vnd.-oasis.-opendocument.-spreadsheet | text/csv |
| Developed by | OASIS | Informational RFC |
| Type of format | Spreadsheet | multi-platform, serial data streams |
| Description | The Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF), also known as OpenDocument, is an XML-based file format for spreadsheets, charts, presentations and word processing documents. It was developed with the aim of providing an open, XML-based file format specification for office applications. | In computing, a comma-separated values (CSV) file stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas. The use of the comma as a field separator is the source of the name for this file format. |
| Technical details | The original OpenDocument format consists of an XML document that has <document> as its root element. OpenDocument files can also take the format of a ZIP compressed archive containing a number of files and directories; these can contain binary content and benefit from ZIP's lossless compression to reduce file size. | The CSV file format is not standardized. The basic idea of separating fields with a comma is clear, but that idea gets complicated when the field data may also contain commas or even embedded line-breaks. CSV implementations may not handle such field data, or they may use quotation marks to surround the field. |
