ODF (Open Document Format)

Open Document Format (ODF) is a file format used for creating and sharing documents like text files, spreadsheets, and presentations. Developed as an open standard, ODF allows different software applications to read and write documents without restrictions, promoting compatibility and accessibility. This means files can be easily shared between various programs, regardless of the platform. ODF is particularly useful in collaborative environments and supports features like styles, formulas, and graphics. By using ODF, users can avoid vendor lock-in and ensure their documents remain accessible over time, even as software evolves.
