Most people use libraries to read and write the files, and judge them pretty much entirely by popularity. A very popular file format pretty much defines the semantics and feature set for that category in everyone's mind, and if you build around those features, then you can probably expect good compatibility. Nobody thinks about the actual on disk data layout, they think about standardization and semantics. I rather like PDF, although it doesn't seem to be well suited for 500MB scans of old books and the like, they really seem to bog down on older mobile devices. |
