Convert XML to XLR

What is XML file?

XML (XML) is a markup language used for exchanging, storing, and defining data. XML files are plain text files that contain specific instructions and can be read by the MS Windows, macOS, and Linux/Unix operating systems. XML data is easy to use with other software applications for further editing or data manipulation. Because of the universality of XML, it is the native language for messaging protocols, webpages and software programs. [ ⏩ ] XML file extension

What is XLR file?

An XLR file is a data file created by Microsoft Excel and LibreOffice Calc. It belongs to the family of .XLS/.XLSX workbook formats, and it is based on the old spreadsheet format from the DOS era program called Lotus 1-2-3. An XLR file has the same number of columns and data as an Excel workbook, but since it doesn't support any features beyond those available in versions prior to Excel 5.0 and higher the data is stored in a less compact way. This means that XLR files are larger than XLS files. [ ⏩ ] XLR file extension

How to convert the file from XML to XLR?

To successfully convert the XML file to XLR, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.XML).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. XML to XLR. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting XML files to XLR files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension XLR, while before this step we had the XML file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new XLR file, or not.
