What is CAB file format?

CAB (or Cabinet) is a common file format used to compress and archive files, commonly used in Microsoft Windows. CAB files are created using the MakeCab command-line tool that is included in Windows and also supported by other compressed file programs. CAB files contain one or more compressed and/or encrypted files in the cabinet format. This format uses embedded file pointers that can be securely transported without being extracted, making them a popular choice for software publishers and developers who need to deliver files in a self-contained package. CAB files can also be distributed via a server, or downloaded from the Internet and then installed. CAB files are ideal for storing and transferring large files, as they can easily be compressed to reduce the file size. The files also remain secure due to their internal file pointers, as they cannot be opened or accessed without the proper software. In addition, CAB files are great for a software publisher who needs to deliver large files quickly and efficiently.

What is TXT file format?

The TXT file format is a plain text format that is commonly used for storing and sharing text or data files. It is an ideal format for storing text and for sharing information, as it is a very basic, platform-independent file format. TXT files can be opened with any text editing program, such as Notepad or WordPad on Windows, and TextEdit on Macs. They can also be opened with any web browser. TXT files are human-readable and can contain plain text, simple text formatting, and hyperlinks. TXT files are mainly used to store notes, source code, and other small bits of information. They are also used to store HTML files, as they can easily be converted to HTML format. TXT files are often used to store configuration settings, readme files (text files included with software that describe how to use the program), and data files. TXT files have the advantage of being small and lightweight, and can be quickly opened and read. However, they do not support rich text formatting, which means that formatting such as italics, bolding, and fonts cannot be used. Additionally, TXT files cannot store images or other types of multimedia.
