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
