bit7z
A C++ static library providing a clean, cross-platform interface to 7-Zip for archive compression and extraction.
What is bit7z?
bit7z is a C++ static library that provides a clean, object-oriented interface to the 7-Zip shared libraries for compressing and extracting archive files. It solves the problem of integrating 7-Zip's powerful but low-level C API into modern C++ applications by offering a type-safe, exception-based wrapper that supports a wide range of formats and advanced features like memory operations and encryption.
C++ developers who need to programmatically handle archive files (compression, extraction, inspection) in cross-platform applications, particularly those already using or requiring 7-Zip's format support and compression algorithms.
Developers choose bit7z for its modern C++ API that drastically simplifies using 7-Zip compared to its native interface, its comprehensive feature set matching 7-Zip's capabilities, and its true cross-platform support with consistent behavior across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
