Re:Hop: Faster than unzip and tar at reading individual files by rendaw on Thursday November 11, 2021 @02:18AM (#29185324)
This looks really cool, I was looking for a simple compressed archive format that doesn't have junk like permissions, filename encoding issues, etc.

It claims it's easy to write a parser but then requires "Pickle" (derived from Python's Pickle?) which is just a link to a chrome header file... I'm not aware of a standard and like that it doesn't seem like it even wants to be standardized. Do they mean easy to write a parser as long as you're using chrome's JS engine?
