What Is the TXT Format?
TXT (plain text) is the simplest file container: it stores only raw text with no built-in formatting or metadata. It’s widely used for notes, logs, scripts, configuration files, and any situation where unformatted, human-readable text is sufficient.
Key Characteristics
- ASCII or UTF-8 encoding
- No compression, minimal overhead
- Fully human-readable
- Ideal for data interchange
When to Use TXT
Choose TXT When:
- You need universal readability – Compatible with every OS and editor
- You require human-readable logs or configs – Easy to review and edit
- No formatting is needed – Plain data storage or scripting
- Interchange between systems – Simple parsing in any language
