XPS

XPS (XML Paper Specification) is a document format developed by Microsoft that aims to provide a standardized and platform-independent way to represent, view, and share electronic documents. It is similar in concept to the widely used PDF (Portable Document Format) but is based on XML (Extensible Markup Language) rather than a binary format.
