What is Asar?

I got a desire to start cataloging all of the packages I have installed since loading Arch on my box, in order to familiarize myself with each package and what it does.

I was reading up on Asar, and the official repos and Git repos have differing information.

Further, the official short description from the Community Repo seems a bit unclear.

Per https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/asar/ , it reads:

"Creating Electron app packages"

And the Aur Git page sez:

"SNES assembler for applying patches to existing ROMs or creating new ROMs from scratch."

Granted, asar-git and asar could be two different things, but either way, both seem a touch unclear.

Would someone mind explaining to me what they both are and/or what they do?

I appreciate it.
