With the advent of Open Document formats during the last couple of years, the fact of having a standard way to manage such document types and been able to access its content in a programmatically way is quite of importance and a key feature towards its adoption, enabling better and creative ways of interactive with them from our own implementations.
Open XML is Microsoft's document format used in their latest Office 2007 System. Open XML is a file format specification for the storage of electronic documents based on a ZIP container for packaging XML and other data files, similar to its generalized sibling definition XPS.
Today I saw posted on the MSDN Blogs a little post referring to the newly release of the Microsoft's SDK for interacting with such formats from .NET; and digging a bit more I found this post from Brian Jones where he shares the project OpenXML4J which is an Open Source Java implementation API born to lead the interaction with such formats from the Java world.
It's great to see how such implementations are setting the base in the development world as to drive the next generation of document driven applications supporting Open Document formats, in this case Open XML, and enabling a mirage of uses on the ever growing world of Rich Interactive Experiences.
