Jar and war difference (when each one is used)

Jar files, Java classes, etc. can be compressed in war Is it necessary to use jar? Can't we just compress everything into war?

I don't know when to use war and jar respectively (crying) If it's just a Java file, is it war except Jar?

jar war

You can think of JAR as a general adaptation or library written as Java Archive.

WAR is a Web application ARchive, which is basically a web application written in Java. You can think of it as a specialized version of JAR's web application. In fact, it contains other languages besides Java.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAR_(file_format).
