## What it is
A Swift framework for zipping and unzipping files, built on top of minizip. It offers simple quick functions as well as advanced options like custom destinations, password-protected archives, and progress callbacks.

## Use cases
- unzip a file in an iOS app
- create zip archives from Swift
- extract password-protected zip files
- show progress while unzipping large archives
- support custom zip-like file extensions like .cbz

## When to choose
- you need simple zip/unzip functionality in a Swift or iOS/macOS project
- you want password-protected archive support with progress tracking
- you prefer a lightweight wrapper over minizip with SPM/CocoaPods/Carthage support

## When to avoid
- you need formats beyond zip derivatives like tar.gz or rar
- you work outside the Apple/Swift ecosystem
- you need actively developed features beyond maintenance-level updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: compression, file-system
- domain: files, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: zip, unzip, minizip, cocoapods, swift-package-manager, swift, ios, macos
