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 XPS file format?

XPS stands for XML Paper Specification and is a type of file format developed by Microsoft. It is an open standard for fixed-layout documents and is an alternative to Adobe’s PDF file format. XPS files are designed to be a simpler format than PDF, allowing greater compatibility with a range of operating systems and devices. XPS files are structured documents, meaning they are composed of multiple parts such as metadata, content and layout. This makes them easier to display and print across different operating systems. XPS is commonly used to store print function settings, so documents maintain a constant appearance regardless of the device that prints them. The XPS file format is also popular in document archiving, as it is less likely to become corrupted than other file formats. It also supports advanced features such as encryption and digital signature, allowing documents to be securely shared and transmitted. In recent years, XPS has become less popular, as the PDF format has become more widely adopted. However, it remains an important document format for businesses and organizations, as it provides greater stability and control over document integrity.
