What's the difference between XIB and storyboard?

A storyboard is like a canvas where you put all your . xib files. You no longer have any . xibs, you just have View Controllers directly on your canvas.

Which data format do XIB files use?

Application interface created with Interface Builder, a graphical editor for designing and testing user interfaces; saved in a text-based flat-file format, introduced in Interface Builder 3.0. NOTE: XIB files are also called "development-time format" files.

A Xib is more or less an XML document, it is the uncompiled read/write version of a nib. Once you compile a xib it becomes a nib.
