What is ODT?

ODT (OpenDocument Text) is the word-processing format of OpenDocument, an open, royalty-free standard (ISO/IEC 26300) maintained by OASIS. It's the default of LibreOffice and OpenOffice Writer and a common vendor-neutral alternative to Microsoft's DOCX.

ODT was developed by OASIS and is an open standard.
