rc-zip

Intent

The goals are as follows:

• Pure rust only
  • No C bindings allowed
  • Everything must compile for Windows, Linux, macOS, and wasm32-unknown-unknown
• Read as many ZIP files as possible, including:
  • ZIP64 files
  • Slightly malformed but common zip files
  • Non-UTF8 file names, like CP-437 and Shift-JIS
• Support as much metadata as possible (even if it's not present in all zip files)
• Pluggable decompression:
  • Always allow enumerating files, even if the compression method is unsupported
• Allow concurrent entry readers
  • Rely on a positional I/O trait, like ReadAt (current candidate is olio)
• No manual parsing
  • Use nom instead

Status

• Wrote the statement of intent
• The rest will follow
