Why Convert XLS to XML file?

Converting an XLS spreadsheet to XML turns your Excel data into a structured, machine-readable format other programs can read automatically. XLS, the older Excel format, is made for people to view and edit, whereas XML tags each value and its position so databases, scripts, and other software can import and process the data without a person involved.

This conversion belongs to technical and data-driven work — feeding spreadsheet data into another system, integrating it with a database or website, or preparing it for automated processing. What you get is the content of your spreadsheet expressed as XML, ready for a program to parse rather than a grid for reading. When your goal is moving or reusing the data instead of viewing it, XML is far easier for software to handle.
