what are the differences between CSV and XLS?

Today I think about CSV file & XLS file, and what are the differences between them?

Humhum, as I known that XLS is file format of Microsoft Excel. CSV is format frequently export by IT man.

Google now, I get one result:

Comma-Separated Values (CSV):These files hold plain text as a series of values (cells) separated by commas (,) in a series of lines (rows). You can actually open a CSV file in a text editor. Many applications are capable of reading CSV files, and many languages provide built-in functions that simplify reading/writing CSV format.


Excel (represented as XL) Spreadsheet (XLS):It is an MS Excel workbook binary file, which holds information about all the worksheets in a workbook, comprising both content and formatting (number masking, colouring, conditional formatting, etc), and can also hold additionals like charts, images, etc. XLS files can only be read by applications that have been especially written to read their format, and can only be written in the same way.
