Deprecated

zip-extract was born out of frustration with the zip crate's tedious extraction methods. Things have changed: ZipArchive::extract and ZipArchive::extract_unwrapped_root_dir provide the same functionality as zip-extract, without a wrapper crate. Please use them instead.

zip-extract

zip-extract's primary goal is simple: Automate tedious zip extraction. Ever wanted to just unpack an archive somewhere? Well, here you go.

Usage

let archive: Vec<u8> = download_my_archive()?;
let target_dir = PathBuf::from("my_target_dir"); // Doesn't need to exist

// The third parameter allows you to strip away toplevel directories.
// If `archive` contained a single directory, its contents would be extracted instead.
zip_extract::extract(Cursor::new(archive), &target_dir, true)?;
