From the 70's to 2007 the open source .txt filename extension format commonly referred to plain text documents encoded using the ASCII character set. To support internationalization and localization, .txt text documents are today text files encoded using the UTF-8 or UTF-16LE standard which is a superset of the ASCII character set. Text documents of type .txt typically have minimal formatting for example no support for bold or italic characters or support for bullet points etc. This allows .txt documents to use minimum storage space and be platform independent as long as the operating system supports the underlying encoding character set used to create the .txt document. On windows .txt file support has existed since 1985 when Windows 1.0 was released and since then has been mostly associated with the notepad application on Microsoft Windows.
.bib is a text based file that's created when using LaTeX software. In short, it's a database of references and citations that help to create bibliographies, as well as keeping written citations consistent with each other. .bib files are formatted with BibTeX formatting, and often include information such as author, title, publisher, year, place and edition (although they can include a lot more). A .bib file is often used by authors and academics and is easy to search and navigate, saving the author time and minimising errors. The .bib files can be opened with a number of specific programs on all operating systems, including MikTex for Windows and BibDesk for Mac.

Unicode (UTF-8 or UTF-16LE) is the defacto character encoding set for .txt files. It is supported by all major operating systems, with many having native applications that can open .txt documents.
.bib files are usually written in WEB/Pascal with BibTeX formatting, to make things easier, formatting style files can be created and programs such as custom-bib can automatically create style files for users. Many publishers and journals have their own style files, which makes it as easy as possible for authors to adhere to the publisher's bibliographic style. Because of this universal formatting, .bib files can be easily viewed on Windows, Mac, or Linux computers.
