Toffee is an open lossless file format for data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry. MzDB saves data in an SQLite database to save on storage space and improve access times as the data points can be queried from a relational database. Both files are linked by a universally unique identifier. It splits experimental data into XML and spectral data in a binary file. The imzML standard was proposed to exchange data from mass spectrometry imaging in a standardized XML file based on the mzML ontology. It uses the mzML ontology, but saves the data using the HDF5 backend for reduced storage space requirements and improved read/write speed. The mz5 format addresses the performance problems of the previous XML based formats. Instead of defining new file formats and writing converters for proprietary vendor formats a group of scientists proposed to define a common application program interface to shift the burden of standards compliance to the instrument manufacturers' existing data access libraries. There are no planned further changes as of 2013. This format was officially released at the 2008 American Society for Mass Spectrometry Meeting, and is since then relatively stable with very few updates. The first specification was published in June 2008.

Originally called dataXML, it was officially announced as mzML.

mzML ДЄs two formats (mzData and mzXML) for representing the same information is an undesirable state, a joint effort was set by HUPO-PSI, the SPC/ISB and instrument vendors to create a unified standard borrowing the best aspects of both mzData and mzXML, and intended to replace them. Yet Another Format for Mass Spectrometry (YAFMS) is a suggestion to save data in four table relational server-less database schema with data extraction and appending being exercised using SQL queries. This format was developed at the Seattle Proteome Center/Institute for Systems Biology while the HUPO-PSI was trying to specify the standardized mzData format, and is still in use in the proteomics community. MzXML is a XML (eXtensible Markup Language) based common file format for proteomics mass spectrometric data. This format is now deprecated, and replaced by mzML. MzData was the first attempt by the Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) from the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) to create a standardized format for Mass Spectrometry data. ANDI was initially developed for chromatography-MS data and therefore was not used in the proteomics gold rush where new formats based on XML were developed.

ANDI is based on netCDF which is a software tool library for writing and reading data files. ANDI is specified in the ASTM E1947 Standard. Many mass spectrometry software packages can read or write ANDI files.

The Analytical Data Interchange Format for Mass Spectrometry is a format for exchanging data. Together with the American Society for Mass Spectrometry a JCAMP-DX format for mass spectrometry was developed with aim to preserve legacy data. JCAMP-DX is an ASCII based format and therefore not very compact even though it includes standards for file compression. JCAMP-DX was initially developed for infrared spectrometry. This format was one of the earliest attempts to supply a standardized file format for data exchange in mass spectrometry.
