- 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."
