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.
