- A JAR file is a Java archive (JAR) file used by the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), a framework used for executing Java programs. JAR files may serve as program libraries or as standalone programs that run if the JRE is installed on the computer or mobile device.
- This format works based on the LZMA principle compression algorithm. It was originally used in 7-Zip archives. tar.7z archives were created for storing info about file owners and for ease of use in Unix systems, based on a TAR archiving tool.
