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.

MHTML files can be opened with web browsers, text editors, and other programs that support HTML viewing. MHTML files are commonly used to backup websites, share web page content, or email static web page content without the need for an internet connection. The ability to compress everything into a single file makes MHTML files ideal for saving and sharing web content. Additionally, MHTML files are also easier to manage than HTML files as they contain all of the necessary components for viewing in one file. MHTML files are different than HTML files as the MHTML format includes external content. It also uses MIME encoding which allows it to include binary data such as images, audio, and even video files.
