Archiver

Uses Node.js streams to process large files without loading them entirely into memory, as shown in the quick start with fs.createReadStream for memory-efficient operations.

Supports appending files from streams, strings, buffers, directories, and glob patterns, enabling flexible archive creation from diverse inputs, as demonstrated in the code examples.

Allows setting compression levels like zlib level 9 to optimize archive size, providing control over performance and output based on application needs.

Emits events for warnings and errors, allowing graceful handling of issues such as missing files (ENOENT), which improves reliability in production environments.
