What is XAR file format?

XAR (eXtensible ARchive) is an open source file format designed to compress and contain application data in a single file. Developed by Apple Inc., the format is primarily used for Mac OS X applications and is based on the TAR and GZip formats. XAR files are typically used to package Apple software applications, including the iLife suite of applications. XAR files are built with a variable length header that contains the file data. This header stores metadata about the file, including the name, size, type, and creation date. XAR files can also contain digital signatures for authentication and a checksum for integrity. XAR files are compressed using the DEFLATE algorithm and can also be encrypted for added security. The files can be opened by most compressed archive programs, including the built-in Mac OS X Archive Utility. The XAR format is also supported by many non-Mac programs, such as 7-Zip and WinZip.

What is AZW3 file format?

An AZW3 file, also known as Amazon KF8, is a proprietary eBook format developed by Amazon for use on Kindle devices. It is an enhanced version of the older MOBI format, offering advanced features like HTML5 and CSS3 support, embedded fonts, scalable vector graphics, and CSS styling. One of the main advantages of AZW3 files is that they can include interactive features like pop-up footnotes, embedded multimedia, and scalable images. Additionally, AZW3 files use Amazon’s DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology to protect the content from unauthorized distribution or copying. This DRM protection is a significant advantage for authors and publishers who want to prevent piracy of their books. While AZW3 files are specifically designed for Kindle devices, users can also access them using Kindle software on other platforms, such as Kindle for PC, Kindle for Mac, and Kindle for Android. AZW3 files can also be converted to other eBook formats like MOBI, ePUB, PDF, HTML, and TXT using conversion tools like Calibre or Amazon’s own Kindle Create software.
