Package java.util.zip

Provides classes for reading and writing the standard ZIP and GZIP file formats. Also includes classes for compressing and decompressing data using the DEFLATE compression algorithm, which is used by the ZIP and GZIP file formats. Additionally, there are utility classes for computing the CRC-32, CRC-32C and Adler-32 checksums of arbitrary input streams.

Interface Summary
Interface Description
Checksum

An interface representing a data checksum.

Class Summary
Class Description
Adler32

A class that can be used to compute the Adler-32 checksum of a data stream.

CheckedInputStream

An input stream that also maintains a checksum of the data being read.

CheckedOutputStream

An output stream that also maintains a checksum of the data being written.

CRC32

A class that can be used to compute the CRC-32 of a data stream.

CRC32C

A class that can be used to compute the CRC-32C of a data stream.

Deflater

This class provides support for general purpose compression using the popular ZLIB compression library.

DeflaterInputStream

Implements an input stream filter for compressing data in the "deflate" compression format.

DeflaterOutputStream

This class implements an output stream filter for compressing data in the "deflate" compression format.

GZIPInputStream

This class implements a stream filter for reading compressed data in the GZIP file format.

GZIPOutputStream

This class implements a stream filter for writing compressed data in the GZIP file format.

Inflater

This class provides support for general purpose decompression using the popular ZLIB compression library.

InflaterInputStream

This class implements a stream filter for uncompressing data in the "deflate" compression format.

InflaterOutputStream

Implements an output stream filter for uncompressing data stored in the "deflate" compression format.

ZipEntry

This class is used to represent a ZIP file entry.

ZipFile

This class is used to read entries from a zip file.

ZipInputStream

This class implements an input stream filter for reading files in the ZIP file format.

ZipOutputStream

This class implements an output stream filter for writing files in the ZIP file format.
