Compress::Zip - Crystal 1.20.1

# module Compress::Zip

##
Overview

The Compress::Zip module contains readers and writers of the zip file format, described at PKWARE's site.

NOTE To use `Zip` or its children, you must explicitly import it with `require "compress/zip"`

###
Reading zip files

Two types are provided to read from zip files:

- `Compress::Zip::File`: can read zip entries from a `File` or from an `IO::Memory` and provides random read access to its entries.
- `Compress::Zip::Reader`: can only read zip entries sequentially from any `IO`.

`Compress::Zip::File` is the preferred method to read zip files if you can provide a `File`, because it's a bit more flexible and provides more complete information for zip entries (such as comments).

When reading zip files, CRC32 checksum values are automatically verified when finishing reading an entry, and `Compress::Zip::Error` will be raised if the computed CRC32 checksum does not match.

###
Writer zip files

Use `Compress::Zip::Writer`, which writes zip entries sequentially to any `IO`.

NOTE only compression methods 0 (STORED) and 8 (DEFLATED) are supported. Additionally, ZIP64 is not yet supported.
