Converter SXW to ODT

SXW is a text file format. From the very beginning, it was created for StarOffice Writer, that is, an application that processes texts from the Sun Microsystem StarOffice office suite. StarOffice was developed by Sun Microsystems. Then it was bought by Oracle. That's why Star Office has evolved into Apache Open Office, and is now a commercial Oracle product. At the same time, it is the same software product as the free program OpenOffice.org. The only difference is that the new Open Office provides technical support for packages. The Apache Software Foundation supports the Apache OpenOffice software package, and it provides a universal set of tools designed to work with vector drawings, spreadsheets, text documents, databases, etc. The .sxw file is an OpenOffice text document that is saved in XML-based Sun XML Writer (SXW) format. Currently, the SXW format and other OpenOffice formats that are outdated have skipped ahead of the family of standard OpenDocument Format (ODF) formats with .odt extensions without preserving compatibility between them. SXW files are opened by programs such as StarOffice Writer and OpenOffice.org Writer.

ODT is one of the options for the text file format, which was in little demand and gained relative distribution only in 2014, when Google Docs began to use the ODF format. It takes its name from the OpenDocument Text Document, and is used in office programs that are based on utilities like Open Office or LibreOffice. The open standard ODF (OpenDocument Format) was created by the OASIS community and was intended for the free creation, editing, storage and exchange of office documents. Within its framework, the ODT format also allows the use of databases, presentations, images, tables in text files.
