ZIP Foundation is a Swift library for creating, reading, and modifying ZIP archive files. It is built on Apple's libcompression for high performance, supports in-memory archives, large files, and runs on Apple platforms and Linux with no third-party dependencies.

Use cases

  • zip files and directories in swift
  • unzip an archive in an ios app
  • read individual entries from a zip file
  • create zip archives in memory
  • add or remove entries from an existing zip
  • track progress and cancel long zip operations

When to choose

  • you need ZIP support in Swift on Apple platforms or Linux
  • you want a dependency-free, high-performance compression library
  • you need in-memory archive handling or progress tracking

When to avoid

  • you need formats other than ZIP such as tar or 7z
  • you work outside Swift or outside the supported platforms
