About ODS and XLS
application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet
ODS is the XML-based file format for spreadsheets used by OpenOffice and LibreOffice Calc. It is part of the OpenDocument standard (ODF), an open standard for office documents widely supported by open-source applications.
application/vnd.ms-excel
XLS is the binary file format used by Microsoft Excel versions 97 through 2003. It uses a structured storage file format (Compound File Binary Format). While still widely supported, it has largely been superseded by the XML-based XLSX format.
Conversion Notes
Document conversion between ODS and XLS preserves text content, headings, tables, and basic formatting. Complex layouts — multi-column designs, custom styles, or embedded objects — may be approximated if the target format has fewer layout capabilities. Fonts are substituted when the original font is unavailable in the target environment, which can slightly affect text reflow and pagination.
