The .box file format and related tooling is designed to be a modern successor to formats such as
.zip and .7z, removing several painpoints and introducing modern features and expectations:
Features
| 🌉 | Cross-platform path support, with relative paths only and platform-agnostic separators |
| 🌐 | UTF-8 only, Unicode normalised path names and string data |
| 🔍 | FST-based indexing for extremely fast path lookups |
| 👩🚀 | Extensible with space-efficient attributes in key-value pairs for records and whole archives |
| ↔️ | Configurable optional byte-alignment of files to enable easy memory mapping |
| 💽 | Inode-based metadata for tree-based structuring, mapping closely to how filesystems work |
| 📁 | Support for directories, files and links |
| 🗜️ | Multiple compression methods within a single archive |
| 🖥️ | A truly cross-platform command line tool |
| 📜 | Well-defined, open specification of file format (due before v1.0) |
