About OPML files

OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) files are the standard XML-based format for exchanging structured outlines and RSS feed subscriptions between applications. Originally developed by UserLand Software, these files serve as the backbone for data portability in RSS readers like NetNewsWire and outliners like Dynalist and OmniOutliner.

While .OPML is excellent for machine readability and hierarchy preservation, users often struggle when attempting to view or manipulate this data outside of specialized software. Because it is a raw XML format, opening it in a standard text editor reveals complex tags rather than a readable list, making manual editing tedious and error-prone. Furthermore, many modern productivity tools (like Excel or Notion) may not natively import OPML files, leaving valuable subscription lists or project outlines locked within a specific ecosystem. To unlock this data, users typically convert .OPML to CSV or XLSX for sorting in spreadsheet software, HTML for publishing readable lists on the web, or JSON for developers parsing feed data. For simple archiving without the XML overhead, converting to PDF or Markdown is often preferred.
