About formats

CDR is the native file format of CorelDRAW, a vector graphics editor developed by Corel Corporation and first released for Windows in January 1989. The format stores complex vector illustrations using a RIFF-based container structure (Resource Interchange File Format), organizing page content, object properties, color palettes, and metadata across multiple data chunks. CDR supports a comprehensive range of vector objects including Bezier curves, rectangles, ellipses, artistic text, paragraph text, powerclips, drop shadows, transparency lenses, contours, blends, envelopes, and multi-page document layouts. Each new major release of CorelDRAW introduces an updated CDR version, sometimes adding features that are not backward-compatible with older software versions. One notable advantage is rich feature density — CDR files can contain extremely complex artwork combining vector objects with embedded bitmap effects, multi-point color fills, and mesh fills, all within a single native document. The format's strong presence in certain professional niches is another practical strength: sign-making, screen printing, engraving, and vinyl cutting industries widely standardize on CDR as their primary working format, with direct output to cutting plotters and production equipment. While CorelDRAW originated as a Windows application and CDR remains most fully supported on that platform, import support exists in competing editors including Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, and LibreOffice Draw.

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.
