I just added more details about the attachment on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/XAR+Module+Specifications.
That being said if you are in Java one way to not have to care about that is to use the XWiki Filter module to parse the XAR since you don't need a running instance of XWiki to use it. You can see what the standard XAR parser does with attachments on https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-filter/xwiki-platform-filter-streams/xwiki-platform-filter-stream-xar/src/main/java/org/xwiki/filter/xar/internal/input/AttachmentReader.java#L79.
