Comparison of Office Open XML and OpenDocument
This is a comparison of the Office Open XML document file format with the OpenDocument file format.
Design aims
The differences between Office Open XML (OOXML) and the OpenDocument format (ODF) can be traced to their heritage, as they have different design goals.
The different goals in the development of OOXML and ODF resulted in different principles and design tradeoffs between the file formats.
