What is the XPS file structure

Question

I think XPS files are similar to PDF files, but what is the structure of an XPS file? Is it like a pdf file?

Answer 1

XPS vs. PDF to CNET

Excerpts:
Being more like a ZIP archive, XPS documents contain all the files needed to recreate a document on any system. By changing the XPS extension to ZIP, you can view files associated with any XPS document. Specific files include embedded images and fonts, so if someone doesn’t have the same fonts installed on their computer, the XPS Viewer will still display these original fonts, if only for the document.

PDF supports DRM. I am sure that there are book publishers who think that without DRM, life, as we know it, will end, but I think that the life they know will end.

These rarely-used features greatly complicate PDF, both structurally and from a developer's point of view.
