if you could pick a standard format for a purpose what would it be and why?
e.g. flac for lossless audio because…
(yes you can add new categories)
summary:
- photos .jxl
- open domain image data .exr
- videos .av1
- lossless audio .flac
- lossy audio .opus
- subtitles srt/ass
- fonts .otf
- container mkv (doesnt contain .jxl)
- plain text utf-8 (many also say markup but disagree on the implementation)
- documents .odt
- archive files (this one is causing a bloodbath so i picked randomly) .tar.zst
- configuration files toml
- typesetting typst
- interchange format .ora
- models .gltf / .glb
- daw session files .dawproject
- otdr measurement results .xml
whats the file extension and whats the category name, compiling list in body
It doesn’t have any standardized extension. My solution uses .xml (as that’s the format internally), but it’s not anywhere in the standard. About category I don’t really know. SEPA stands for Single Euro Payment Area, but it contains quite a lot of things, https://www.iso20022.org/about-iso-20022 has a bit more info on the standard itself, but there’s no catchy category name either.
