<br />
The '''ZIM''' file format is an [[open file format]] that stores [[wiki]] content for [[offline]] usage.<ref>{{cite web |title=openZIM project wiki |url=http://www.openzim.org/Main_Page |accessdate=4 April 2012}}</ref> Its primary focus is the contents of [[Wikipedia]] and other [[Wikimedia projects]]. <br />
<br />
The format allows for the [[lossless compression|compression]] of articles using, features a [[full-text search]] index and native category and image handling similar to [[MediaWiki]], and the entire file is easily indexable and readable using a program like [[Kiwix]] - unlike native Wikipedia [[XML]] [[Wikipedia:Database download|database dumps]].<br />
<br />
In addition to the open file format, the openZIM project provides support for an open source ZIM reader called [[Kiwix]].<br />
<br />
ZIM stands for "Zeno IMproved"<ref>{{cite web |title=Zeno File Format |url=http://www.openzim.org/Zeno_File_Format |publisher=openZIM.org |accessdate=10 April 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=.ZIM File |url=http://filext.com/file-extension/ZIM |work=FILExt |accessdate=10 April 2012}}</ref>, as it replaces the earlier Zeno file format. Its file compression uses [[LZMA2]], as implemented by the [[xz]]-utils library. The openZIM project is sponsored by Wikimedia CH, and supported by the [[Wikimedia Foundation]].<br />
