DescriptionThe VSDX format is a file extension used in Microsoft Visio to store diagrams and flowcharts. It is an evolution of the earlier VSD format, offering enhanced features and compatibility. VSDX files are XML-based, allowing for efficient storage and manipulation of diagram data. They can contain various elements such as shapes, connectors, text, and formatting options. VSDX files can be easily shared and edited across different versions of Visio and other compatible software applications. Additionally, VSDX files support features like layers, themes, and data linking, enabling users to create complex and dynamic diagrams for a wide range of purposes, including business process modeling, network diagrams, and organizational charts.
Technical detailsVSDX is based on XML (Extensible Markup Language). This means that the file is essentially a collection of XML files compressed into a single package.
