zip
========
[](https://github.com/Pr0methean/zip/actions?query=branch%3Amaster+workflow%3ACI)
Info
----
A zip library for rust which supports reading and writing of simple ZIP files. Formerly hosted at
Supported compression formats:
* stored (i.e. none)
* deflate
* deflate64 (decompression only)
* bzip2
* zstd
* lzma (decompression only)
Currently unsupported zip extensions:
* Multi-disk
Features
--------
The features available are:
* `aes-crypto`: Enables decryption of files which were encrypted with AES. Supports AE-1 and AE-2 methods.
* `deflate`: Enables compressing and decompressing an unspecified implementation (that may change in future versions) of
the deflate compression algorithm, which is the default for zip files. Supports compression quality 1..=264.
* `deflate-flate2`: Combine this with any `flate2` feature flag that enables a back-end, to support deflate compression
at quality 1..=9.
* `deflate-zopfli`: Enables deflating files with the `zopfli` library (used when compression quality is 10..=264). This
is the most effective `deflate` implementation available, but also among the slowest.
* `deflate64`: Enables the deflate64 compression algorithm. Only decompression is supported.
* `lzma`: Enables the LZMA compression algorithm. Only decompression is supported.
* `bzip2`: Enables the BZip2 compression algorithm.
* `chrono`: Enables converting last-modified `zip::DateTime` to and from `chrono::NaiveDateTime`.
* `zstd`: Enables the Zstandard compression algorithm.
By default `aes-crypto`, `bzip2`, `deflate`, `deflate64`, `lzma`, `time` and `zstd` are enabled.
The following feature flags are deprecated:
* `deflate-miniz`: Use `flate2`'s default backend for compression. Currently the same as `deflate`.
MSRV
----
Our current Minimum Supported Rust Version is **1.73**. When adding features,
we will follow these guidelines:
- We will always support the latest four minor Rust versions. This gives you a 6
month window to upgrade your compiler.
- Any change to the MSRV will be accompanied with a **minor** version bump.
Examples
--------
See the [examples directory](examples) for:
* How to write a file to a zip.
* How to write a directory of files to a zip (using [walkdir](https://github.com/BurntSushi/walkdir)).
* How to extract a zip file.
* How to extract a single file from a zip.
* How to read a zip from the standard input.
* How to append a directory to an existing archive
Fuzzing
-------
Fuzzing support is through [cargo fuzz](https://github.com/rust-fuzz/cargo-fuzz). To install cargo fuzz:
```bash
cargo install cargo-fuzz
```
To list fuzz targets:
```bash
cargo +nightly fuzz list
```
To start fuzzing zip extraction:
```bash
cargo +nightly fuzz run fuzz_read
```
To start fuzzing zip creation:
```bash
cargo +nightly fuzz run fuzz_write
```
