bz2

Extension	.bz2
Category	🔵 archives
Description	🔵 The BZ2 format is a file compression format that uses the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) algorithm combined with the Run-Length Encoding (RLE) and Huffman coding techniques. It is an extension of the BZIP2 compression format and is commonly used to compress and decompress files on Unix-like operating systems. BZ2 files typically have a ".bz2" file extension and are created using software tools such as bzip2. They offer high compression ratios, making them suitable for reducing the size of large files or archives while maintaining data integrity. BZ2 files are commonly used for distributing software packages, storing backups, and archiving files on Unix-based systems. They are supported by various file compression utilities and libraries, making them widely accessible and versatile for data compression needs.
Technical details	🔵 Bzip2 typically achieves higher compression ratios than older algorithms like ZIP or GZIP. Files compressed using the Bzip2 algorithm are often given the ".bz2" file extension. This extension helps identify the files as being compressed using the Bzip2 algorithm. Bzip2 offers high compression ratios, making it particularly effective for compressing large files. Bzip2 can compress multiple files into a single archive using a separate compression technique called "tar" (tape archive). This creates a tarball, which is a single file that contains multiple files and directories compressed using the Bzip2 algorithm. The resulting file typically has the ".tar.bz2" extension. Bzip2 is open-source software distributed under the terms of the BSD License. It is freely available for various operating systems, including Unix-like systems, Linux, macOS, and Windows.

ZIP compression

Extension	.zip
Category	🔵 archives
Programs	🔵 StuffIt 🔵 WinRAR 🔵 Winzip
Description	🔵 .zip (Zip Archive) The .zip format is a file archive and compression format that supports lossless data compression. A ZIP file may contain one or more files or directories that may have been compressed. The ZIP file format permits a number of compression algorithms, though DEFLATE is the most common. This format is widely used for distribution and storage of files and software because it reduces file size and bundles multiple files into a single archive, which is easier to handle and transfer.
Technical details	🔵 The `.zip` format is a widely used data compression and archival format with the following technical details: - Compression Algorithm: Primarily uses Deflate, but supports others like BZIP2, LZMA. - File/Directory Storage: Contains multiple files and directories, maintaining structure and metadata. - Lossless Compression: Allows perfect reconstruction of original data. - File Size Limits: Early ZIP limits were 4 GB in size and 65,535 files; ZIP64 extension surpasses these. - Security: Supports password protection and encryption, including ZipCrypto and AES-256. - Error Detection: Includes CRC-32 checksums for data integrity. - Compatibility: Widely supported across various software and operating systems. - Portability: Commonly used for data transfer over the internet. - Split Archives: Allows large files to be split into multi-volume archives. - Metadata Storage: Can store file permissions and timestamps. - File Extensions: Mainly `.zip`; split archives use `.z01`, `.z02`, etc. - MIME Type: Recognized as `application/zip`. - Archive Update: Enables adding, modifying, or removing files without recreating the archive. The `.zip` format is favored for its effective compression, ability to handle multiple files, and broad compatibility.
