As someone who does not have much experience with proteomics, it would be nice to know of any helpful software/resources to get started with analyzing the data!
I'd suggest you look at PeptideShaker, it's easy to use, well integrated and supported;
Vaudel, Marc, Julia M Burkhart, René P Zahedi, Eystein Oveland, Frode S Berven, Albert Sickmann, Lennart Martens, and Harald Barsnes. “PeptideShaker Enables Reanalysis of MS-Derived Proteomics Data Sets.” Nature Biotechnology 33, no. 1 (January 2015): 22–24. https://doi.org/10.1038/nbt.3109.
1. Generally, PRIDEXML file or mzIdentML along with peak list files allow viewing of annotated spectra using PRIDE Inspector.
2. ProteoWizard an open-source software can also be used for such files.(http://proteowizard.sourceforge.net.)

3. Mascot Server supports several formats for exporting database search results. You can now export crosslinked search results in XML, CSV, xiVIEW CSV and mzIdentML format.
