About formats

TXT (Plain Text) is the most fundamental digital document format, storing unformatted text as a sequence of character codes with no embedded styling, layout instructions, or metadata beyond the characters themselves. The foundation of plain text computing traces to the ASCII standard published in 1963 by the American Standards Association (now ANSI), which defined 128 character codes including uppercase and lowercase Latin letters, digits, punctuation, and control characters. Modern plain text files typically use UTF-8 encoding, a variable-width Unicode scheme that encompasses virtually every writing system worldwide while maintaining backward compatibility with ASCII. Line endings vary by platform convention — LF on Unix/macOS, CR+LF on Windows — though most contemporary tools handle both transparently. One advantage is absolute universality — TXT files can be created, read, and edited on every computing device ever manufactured, from 1960s mainframes to modern smartphones, without any specialized software. The minimal overhead is another core strength: plain text carries zero formatting baggage, making TXT files ideal for configuration files, log output, data interchange, source code, scripts, and any context where content must be processed programmatically. Plain text serves as the substrate for structured formats like CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, and Markdown, and remains the input/output medium for virtually all command-line tools and programming environments. Despite decades of richer alternatives, TXT endures as the one truly universal document format.
Developer: ANSI
Initial release: 1963
JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) is the standard file format specification for storing JPEG-compressed images, published by Eric Hamilton at C-Cube Microsystems in version 1.0 in 1991 and updated to version 1.02 in 1992. While the JPEG standard (ISO/IEC 10918-1) defines the compression algorithm — the discrete cosine transform, quantization, and entropy coding that convert pixel data into a compact bitstream — it does not specify a file format. JFIF fills this gap by defining a minimal container that wraps the JPEG bitstream with the metadata needed for interoperable display: pixel aspect ratio, resolution units (DPI or dots per centimeter), color space specification (YCbCr using CCIR 601 conversion from RGB), and an optional embedded thumbnail. The JFIF container is identified by an APP0 marker segment at the start of the file containing the ASCII string 'JFIF' and a version number. Nearly every JPEG file in existence conforms to the JFIF specification — when people refer to a 'JPEG file,' they almost always mean a JFIF file, even if the extension is .jpg or .jpeg. One advantage is universality: JFIF's simplicity and early publication date (predating competing proposals like EXIF) meant it was adopted by virtually every software and hardware platform as the baseline JPEG file format, establishing the interoperability that made JPEG the world's most widely used image format. The specification's deliberate minimalism is another strength — by defining only the essential metadata for correct display and leaving room for application-specific extensions via additional APP markers, JFIF proved extensible enough to accommodate EXIF camera data, ICC color profiles, and XMP metadata without breaking backward compatibility.
Initial release: 1991
