WKS Document Format WKS Converter
WKS is the format that was used with the now-discontinued Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet software. In the 1980s and early 1990s, before Microsoft Excel overtook it in use, Lotus 1-2-3 was probably the most popular spreadsheet program. The software was widely used in both homes and offices. Like Excel formats, WKS stores data in cells in grids and rows, and you could use Lotus 1-2-3 to calculate formulas and create charts.
Lotus was sold to IBM and the final version of Lotus 1-2-3 was released in 2002, with support ending in 2013. Because it used to be such a common format, you can still open WKS files in many spreadsheet programs. These include Excel 2003 and earlier, Corel QuattroPro and OpenOffice Calc. However, many users prefer to convert WKS files into Excel or CSV, as the format and software have since been discontinued.

XML Document Format
XML files are data files, with XML being short for ‘Extensible Markup Language’. XML was first defined in 1998 by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and is now recognised as an ISO open standard. As well as being a markup language, XML can also be used for storing and sharing data in a similar way to HTML. However, unlike HTML, XML is intended to store and carry data online, rather than to display it. XML can give structure to data for other applications to interpret and process, making data-sharing easier.
XML files are plain text documents comprising Unicode characters and typed tags. Both humans and machines can read XML text. You can open XML files in internet browsers or plain text editors like Notepad. Since 2008, all Microsoft Office programs have been XML-based. This means you can read and edit XML files in Office programs including Word, PowerPoint or Excel.
