How to validate .usdz files in Python

Python 
def is_usdz(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid USDZ by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x50, 0x4B, 0x03, 0x04, 0x50, 0x4B, 0x05, 0x06, 0x50, 0x4B, 0x07, 0x08])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(12) == signature

How to validate .usdz files in Node.js

Node.js 
function isUSDZ(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x50, 0x4B, 0x03, 0x04, 0x50, 0x4B, 0x05, 0x06, 0x50, 0x4B, 0x07, 0x08]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 12).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .usdz files in Go

Go 
func IsUSDZ(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x50, 0x4B, 0x03, 0x04, 0x50, 0x4B, 0x05, 0x06, 0x50, 0x4B, 0x07, 0x08}
    if len(data) < 12 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:12], signature)
}

How do I validate a .usdz file?

To validate a .usdz file, read the first bytes of the file and compare them against the known magic bytes (50 4B 03 04 50 4B 05 06 50 4B 07 08) at offset 0. This is more reliable than checking the file extension alone, as extensions can be renamed.

What is the MIME type for .usdz files?
