Features

In addition to being memory efficient (with some limitations) stream-zip:

  • Constructs ZIP files that can be stream unzipped, for example by stream-unzip

  • Can construct Zip64 ZIP files. Zip64 ZIP files allow sizes far beyond the approximate 4GiB limit of the original ZIP format

  • Can construct ZIP files that contain symbolic links

  • Can construct ZIP files that contain directories, including empty directories

  • Can construct password protected / AES-256 encrypted ZIP files adhering to the WinZip AE-2 specification.

  • Allows the specification of permissions on the member files and directories (although not all clients respect them)

  • By default stores modification time as an extended timestamp. An extended timestamp is a more accurate timestamp than the original ZIP format allows

  • Provides an async interface (that uses threads under the hood)
