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.
