What is an XML file?
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879) and defined by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) Recommendation. It utilizes a self-descriptive tree structure of nested tags and attributes to store and transport data, independent of hardware or software platforms. Unlike HTML, XML does not use predefined tags; it relies on custom schemas (XSD) or DTDs to define the document structure.
How to open an XML file
Since XML is encoded in plain text (usually UTF-8), it can be opened and edited with any text editor such as Notepad++, Sublime Text, or Visual Studio Code. Web browsers like Chrome and Firefox natively render the file as a collapsible Document Object Model (DOM) tree for viewing structure.

What is an OTT file?
An OTT (OpenDocument Text Template) file is a standardized document template defined by the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF) specification (ISO/IEC 26300). Based on XML syntax and encapsulated within a ZIP-compressed container, the format stores styling definitions, page layouts, and manifest files separate from content, allowing users to generate multiple .ODT files with consistent formatting. It supports lossless compression and interoperability across open-source office suites.
How to open an OTT file
Native support is built into ODF-compliant word processors such as LibreOffice Writer and Apache OpenOffice. Microsoft Word opens OTT files via integrated ODF conversion filters. Because the file functions as a template, opening it typically instantiates a new, untitled document (.odt) rather than editing the template file itself, unless specifically opened for editing via the application's file menu.
