This is a comparison of the latest stable and fully standardised versions 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 and the manner of their development, as they have different design goals and different groups providing input.

The different goals in the development of OOXML and ODF resulted in different principles and design tradeoffs between the file formats.
