Comic books can be read digitally using formats like CBR and CBZ, which are compressed files. Building a web-based reader in BoxLang involves handling these formats, with native ZIP support making implementation straightforward. RAR files pose more challenges, requiring third-party libraries such as Junrar for extraction. The application is designed to optimize loading times by scanning for comics, ensuring extraction only occurs when necessary, leading to a more efficient reading experience.
Reading comic books electronically has gained popularity, utilizing formats such as CBR and CBZ, which are compressed RAR and ZIP files respectively.
BoxLang's native support for ZIP files facilitated the development of a web-based comic reader, while handling RAR files presented challenges requiring third-party libraries.
The development process involved integrating the Junrar library for RAR extraction, allowing for simpler integration into the BoxLang environment.
To optimize performance, the web application scans and determines which comics require extraction, preventing inefficient extraction on every page request.
