zip2
A Rust library for reading and writing ZIP files with support for multiple compression formats and encryption.
What is zip2?
zip-rs/zip2 is a pure Rust implementation of the ZIP archive format that enables reading and writing compressed files with various algorithms. It solves the problem of handling ZIP files in Rust applications without relying on external C libraries or system tools. The library supports both common and specialized compression methods along with encryption for secure data packaging.
Rust developers building applications that need to create, extract, or manipulate ZIP archives, including package managers, backup tools, game developers, and data processing pipelines.
Developers choose this library because it's a native Rust solution with comprehensive format support, active maintenance, and careful adherence to specifications. Its feature-gated architecture allows minimal binary sizes, and it offers better safety guarantees compared to FFI-based alternatives.
