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 VSDX file format?

The VSDX file format is a Microsoft Visio file format used to store digital drawings created with Microsoft Visio. This file format was introduced in Visio 2013, replacing the legacy VSD format. VSDX files are based on the Office Open XML (OOXML) standard for data interchange and can be explored using a ZIP file utility, as the contents of a VSDX file are stored in XML-based files stored in a ZIP container. They can be read and edited with Microsoft Visio as well as with other 3rd party applications such as Microsoft Visio Viewer and Draw.io. Compared to its predecessor, the VSDX file format offers a number of advantages, including improved compatibility and support for new features such as data linking, saving time and resources in keeping diagrams up-to-date. It also supports improved visuals such as shape gradients, shadows, and reflections, and is capable of storing data in 10 languages. Overall, the VSDX file format is a significant improvement over the legacy VSD format, making it a great choice for creating, sharing, and collaborating on diagrams.
