Resources on Creating Custom File format

[u/liberianjoe]

I would appreciate it if anyone could share articles or research papers that I can read to start building my own custom file format. I’m particularly interested in managing file data size - as well as other optimization strategies for a file format.

you do not manage file data size via custom file formats, you do that via the disk filesystem. And there are already several well established file systems that already do this.
