Under the Bridge

Feel like using .zip compressed files in your iPhone program? Here’s a couple wrappers for Minizip to make that process easy!

For super simple needs, there’s nuzip on github:

NuZip currently has a trivially simple interface, methods called “zip:” and “unzip:” that take a single argument, a string that would correspond to the command-line arguments given to the minizip and miniunz tools…

And if you need a little more, there’s ZipArchive found on Google Code:

 … it’s easy to use, you can declare a instance and call initialize functions, and then call addFileToZip or UnzipFileTo to finish compression or uncompression…

Also note some good advice in this thread about dealing with NSData objects and .gz files.
