A .arj extension file is a file that is compressed using the ARJ archiver. The program was developed by Robert K. Jung and hence the extension .arj stands for Archived by Robert Jung. ARJ was initially developed in 1990 for DOS and for the earlier versions of Windows. It was a very popular format for compression in the early days because it was very efficient at file compression. It was highly popular at the time of early networks. It is fast, reliable and helps to save on disk space.
The .ZIP file extension format is a file archive and data compression format originally developed and released in 1989 by Phil Katz. With compatible zip format software, a file or a group of files can be packed (compressed) into a single .zip archive which can later be unpacked (decompressed). The zip file archive format facilitates the distribution of multiple files as single archives particularly over the internet and networked systems. Many operating systems have native support for the file format and can usually open zip archives without the need for third party software. Microsoft windows for instance has had native support for the ZIP format since Microsoft Windows 98, similarly Apple's Mac OS includes ZIP support through its default archive file handle Archive Utility.

The .arj file format supports data integrity protection, multiple volume archives, file version management, long file names acceptability, configurable options for commands and ANSI based escape sequence for display handling. This format is used to create high-efficiency archives of compressed files. The .arj file extension has advanced features which made it easy to split up a single archive into small chunks.
Many other common filename extensions use the ZIP format in one aspect or another, for example JAR, .WAR, .DOCX, .XLXS, .PPTX, .ODT, .ODS, .ODP all utilize the ZIP format. The ZIP format provides for data integrity through the CRC32 specification with support for digital signatures. It also supports multiple compression algorithms but commonly utilizes the DEFLATE algorithm.
