About formats

RAS (Sun Raster) is a raster image format developed by Sun Microsystems for their SunOS and Solaris Unix workstations, dating to approximately 1982. Sun Raster files store 2D bitmap images with support for 1-bit monochrome, 8-bit indexed color (with a color map), 24-bit true color (BGR byte order), and 32-bit XBGR (with an unused alpha byte). The format uses a 32-byte header containing a magic number (0x59a66a95), width, height, bit depth, data length, raster type (indicating compression), color map type, and color map length, followed by the optional color map data and the pixel data. RAS supports three encoding modes: standard (uncompressed, with each scanline padded to a 16-bit boundary), byte-encoded (run-length encoded using a simple escape-code scheme), and RGB (uncompressed with RGB rather than BGR byte order). Sun Raster was the native image format for Sun's window system and later the OpenWindows desktop environment, serving as the standard format for screenshots, icons, backgrounds, and application graphics on Sun workstations throughout the 1980s and 1990s. One advantage is the format's representation of Unix workstation computing heritage: Sun Raster files from the SunOS/Solaris era document the visual culture of an important computing platform that drove advances in networking, multiprocessing, and graphics workstation design. The format's straightforward structure is another practical strength — the 32-byte header and simple encoding make RAS files easy to parse and convert, even with custom code. RAS files are supported by ImageMagick, GIMP, XnView, and other image processing tools.

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.
