We have released the XAR Format package for all licenses of Cerbero Suite.
XAR (eXtensible ARchive format) is an archive file format which is used for software installation routines in macOS as well as browser extensions in Safari.
The support includes inspecting the format’s structures.
The package is also exposed to the SDK:
from Pro.Core import *
from Pkg.XAR import *
def parseXARArchive(fname):
c = createContainerFromFile(fname)
if c.isNull():
return
obj = XARObject()
if not obj.Load(c) or not obj.ParseArchive():
return
entry = None
while entry := obj.NextEntry(entry):
# skip directories
if obj.IsDirectory(entry):
continue
print("file name:", entry.path)
# retrieves the file data as NTContainer
fc = obj.GetEntryData(entry)
