How should I use the XZ manifest endpoint?

Fetch manifest JSON to pin fixture names, sizes, hashes, and MIME expectations in automated tests.

Why does this format have a category-specific hub?

A category-specific hub keeps assumptions aligned with practical workflows and related format alternatives.

XZ Format Hub

XZ (.xz) provides LZMA2 compression for maximum ratio with support for delta filters and multi-threaded encoding. Use sample .xz files to validate high-ratio workflows and index skipping.

Implementation Notes

Use the manifest endpoint for deterministic fixture selection in CI, then validate MIME/type detection against actual parser output.

If this format appears in multiple categories, prefer category-specific hub pages to keep test assumptions aligned with real usage.
