Uncompressing a ZIP file in memory in Java [closed]

Answer 1

I would use the Apache library commons-compress, see http://commons.apache.org/compress/

It has support for reading Zip-files via streams, there is in-depth documentation at http://commons.apache.org/compress/zip.html for a detailed documentation. It also states some limitations which are inherent in the Zip-Format.

Sample code looks as follows:

ZipArchiveInputStream zip =
    new ZipArchiveInputStream(inputStream);
try {
    ZipArchiveEntry entry = zip.getNextZipEntry();
    while(entry != null) {
        assertEquals("README", entry.getName());
        ...
        entry = zip.getNextZipEntry();
    }
} finally {
    zip.close();
}
