About formats

AI (Adobe Illustrator Artwork) is the native file format of Adobe Illustrator, the industry-standard vector graphics editor first released in January 1987 for the Apple Macintosh. Early versions of the format were based on the PostScript page description language, with each file being a conforming EPS document that could be placed in other layouts and interpreted by PostScript printers. Starting with Illustrator 9 in 2000, Adobe transitioned the AI format to a PDF-based structure, embedding Illustrator-specific editing data within a valid PDF wrapper — this dual nature means modern AI files can be opened in any PDF viewer for display, while preserving the full editable artwork including layers, artboards, and live effects when reopened in Illustrator. The format supports complex vector constructs like gradient meshes, clipping masks, symbol libraries, transparency blending modes, and multiple artboards within a single document. One significant advantage is lossless scalability — artwork maintains perfect precision at any size, from favicon to billboard, because geometry is defined mathematically rather than as pixels. Deep integration with the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem is another strength, enabling seamless round-tripping between Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and After Effects without format conversion. AI remains the de facto standard for professional illustration, logo design, and print production workflows worldwide.

FB2 (FictionBook) is an XML-based ebook format created by Dmitry Gribov in 2004, designed to provide a clean semantic description of a book's content independent of its visual presentation. Unlike page-layout formats, FB2 encodes structure — title, authors, chapters, annotations, genres, epigraphs, poems, footnotes, and binary attachments (typically cover images) — within a single well-formed XML document. This structural approach means reading applications have full control over rendering, allowing the same file to adapt perfectly to a small phone screen or a large e-ink reader. FB2 became enormously popular in Russia and Eastern Europe, serving as the dominant format on major Russian digital libraries and ebook distribution platforms. One significant advantage is metadata richness: the format's schema mandates detailed bibliographic information including author, translator, series position, publication date, and genre classification, making library management and discovery straightforward. The plain-text XML foundation is another strength — FB2 files are human-readable, easy to validate, and simple to transform using standard XML tools like XSLT. The format specification is freely available on GitHub, and a wide ecosystem of readers, editors, and converters supports it across all major platforms, from desktop applications like Calibre to dedicated e-readers with native FB2 rendering.
