ZipZap is a zip file I/O library for iOS, macOS and tvOS written in Objective-C. It offers a simple two-class API for reading, writing and updating zip archives using familiar Foundation classes like NSArray, NSData and NSStream.
Use cases
- read and extract zip files on ios or macos
- create zip archives in an objective-c or swift app
- update single entries in a zip compound document
- bundle compound documents as zip files
- unzip files in a tvos app
When to choose
- you need zip support natively on Apple platforms in Objective-C or Swift
- you want random access to entries in a zip archive
- you need efficient in-place updates of zip entries with low memory pressure
When to avoid
- you need zip support on Linux, Windows or other non-Apple platforms
- you need support for other archive formats like tar, rar or 7z
- you need a actively developed library with frequent updates
