al@17259 1 The XAR project aims to provide an easily extensible archive format. Important
al@17259 2 design decisions include an easily extensible XML table of contents for random
al@17259 3 access to archived files, storing the toc at the beginning of the archive
al@17259 4 to allow for efficient handling of streamed archives, the ability to handle
al@17259 5 files of arbitrarily large sizes, the ability to choose independent encodings
al@17259 6 for individual files in the archive, the ability to store checksums for
al@17259 7 individual files in both compressed and uncompressed form, and the ability
al@17259 8 to query the table of content's rich meta-data.
