Although most files are usually a simple text file, you might need additional software to view some. Once you have extracted them, you can click on the files to view them. After you have installed WinRAR or 7-ZIP, run it, open the file, and extract files in it. Either WinRAR or 7-ZIP, any one of them is a good choice. If you want to view each file in a non-executable jar file, you can do that with the help of a JAR file compatible compression/decompression software. And since it contains thousands of files in a compressed format, you can easily move and share them. It can be used for many purposes on mobile and desktop both. It could be a browser add-on, a game, an application theme, and whatnot. Runtime Environment can read and run the JAR file as a single request. A manifest is a special metafile that controls the behavior of JAR along with containing the information about the files within the file like compiled Java code, also called CLASS files, security certificates, image files, audio files, etc. The manifest in JAR files is their unique feature.

They are very much like ZIP files, the only difference being that it is used by the Java Runtime Environment. The archive file is a single file that has other files packed together to decrease storage space, probability of error, and many similar reasons.
