- Description
- The LHA (also known as LHARC) file type is a compressed archive format developed by Haruyasu Yoshizaki. It primarily uses the LZSS algorithm and Huffman coding for compression, enabling the efficient packaging of multiple files and directories into a single, smaller file. Initially designed for use in the DOS operating system, LHA became popular in Japan and was widely adopted for software distribution on platforms such as Amiga and early versions of Windows.
- Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) is a binary XML format for exchange of data on a computer network. It was developed by the W3C's Efficient Extensible Interchange Working Group and is one of the most prominent efforts to encode XML documents in a binary data format, rather than plain text. Using EXI format reduces the verbosity of XML documents as well as the cost of parsing. Improvements in the performance of writing (generating) content depends on the speed of the medium being written to, the methods and quality of actual implementations.
