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 EPUB file format?

The EPUB file format is a free and open standard for digital books and other digital documents. It was developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) to provide a consistent format that can be used across all digital reading devices. EPUB files are based on the Open Packaging Format (OPF) and use a folder structure to contain components such as HTML, attached files, and other resources. EPUB also includes Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect the files from unauthorized access. EPUB files are designed to be lightweight, compressed and to be reflowable; that is, the text can be adjusted to adjust to the size of a device’s screen. This makes them ideal for mobile devices such as tablets and phones. Furthermore, EPUB files can be read on many popular software e-readers and on most platforms such as Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux. EPUB files contain rich, dynamic interactions and can include tables and diagrams, embedded media, footnotes, and more. They are also highly accessible, allowing people with vision impairments to access the text. Overall, the EPUB file format is a convenient, versatile and accessible way to read digital books and documents, making it an ideal choice for digital publishers.
