ZipContainer

public class ZipContainer: Container

Provides function which opens ZIP archives (containers).

  • Processes ZIP archive (container) and returns an array of ContainerEntries (which are actually ZipEntries). First member of a tuple is entry’s name, second member is entry’s data.

    Important

    The order of entries is defined by ZIP archive and, particularly, creator of given ZIP container. It is likely that directories will be encountered earlier than files stored in those directories, but one SHOULD NOT assume that this is the case.

    Note

    Currently, there is no universal (platform and file system independent) method to determine if entry is a directory. One can check this by looking at the size of entry’s data (it should be 0 for directory) AND the last character of entry’s name (it should be ‘/’). If all of these is true then entry is likely to be a directory.

    Throws

    ZipError or any other error associated with compression type, depending on the type of inconsistency in data. It may indicate that either the container is damaged or it might not be ZIP container at all.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static func open(containerData: Data) throws -> [ContainerEntry]

    Parameters

    containerData

    Data of ZIP container.

    Return Value

    Array of pairs ZipEntries as an array of ContainerEntries.
