The XAR project aims to provide an easily extensible archive format.
|
|
Important design decisions include an easily extensible XML table of
|
|
contents for random access to archived files, storing the toc at the
|
|
beginning of the archive to allow for efficient handling of streamed
|
|
archives, the ability to handle files of arbitrarily large sizes,
|
|
the ability to choose independent encodings for individual files in
|
|
the archive, the ability to store checksums for individual files in
|
|
both compressed and uncompressed form, and the ability to query the
|
|
table of content's rich meta-data.
