Documentation

A zip library for rust which supports reading and writing of simple ZIP files.

Supported compression formats:

• stored (i.e. none)
• deflate
• bzip2

Currently unsupported zip extensions:

• Encryption
• Multi-disk

With all default features:

[dependencies]
zip = "0.5"

Without the default features:

[dependencies]
zip = { version = "0.5", default-features = false }

The features available are:

• deflate: Enables the deflate compression algorithm, which is the default for zipfiles
• bzip2: Enables the BZip2 compression algorithm.
• time: Enables features using the time crate.

All of these are enabled by default.

Our current Minimum Supported Rust Version is 1.34.0. 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
  • While the crate is pre-1.0, this will be a change to the PATCH version.
