What is a XZ file?
XZ files are new general-purpose single file compressed binary archives that reach higher compression rates in comparison to their similarity to their counterparts, the gzip and bzip2 files. XZ files are able to contain multiple compressed files and can be downloaded from the internet or sent to you from an outside party, assuming that the outside party also has the XZ Utils program – a high ratio algorithm, based on the LZMA and LZMA2 compression algorithm, that incorporates a command-line tool for the compressions. When the files that are being archived are compressed to the XZ file archives, they are then perfect for sharing; files such as program software. The compression process of XZ files can move rather slowly in comparison to other files but the decompression can be rather fast in comparison and, best of all, there is no loss of quality in the file when it is compressed.
