Objective-Zip

Deprecated

This library is deprecated. If you are still using it, you are encouraged to find alternatives.

Introduction

Objective-Zip is a small Objective-C library that wraps ZLib and MiniZip in an object-oriented friendly way.

What is contained here

The source repository contains full sources for ZLib, MiniZip and Objective-Zip, together with some unit tests. The versions included are:

1.2.8 for ZLib.
1.1 (as of 13/5/2017) for MiniZip.
latest version for Objective-Zip.

Please note that ZLib and MiniZip are included here only to provide a complete and self-contained package, but they are copyrighted by their respective authors and redistributed on respect of their software license. Please refer to their websites (linked above) for more informations.

Getting started

Objective-Zip exposes basic functionalities to read and write zip files, encapsulating both ZLib for the compression mechanism and MiniZip for the zip wrapping.

Adding Objective-Zip to your project

The library is distributed via CocoaPods, you can add a dependency in you pod file with the following line:

pod 'objective-zip', '~> 1.0'

You can then access Objective-Zip classes with the following import statement if you plan to use exception handling:

#import "Objective-Zip.h"

Alternatively you can use the following import statement if you plan to use Apple's NSError pattern:

#import "Objective-Zip+NSError.h"

More on error handling at the end of this document.

Main concepts

Objective-Zip is centered on a class called (with a lack of fantasy) OZZipFile. It can be created with the common Objective-C procedure of an alloc followed by an init, specifying in the latter if the zip file is being created, appended or unzipped:

OZZipFile *zipFile= [[OZZipFile alloc] initWithFileName:@"test.zip"
    mode:OZZipFileModeCreate];

Creating and appending are both write-only modalities, while unzipping is a read-only modality. You can not request reading operations on a write-mode zip file, nor request writing operations on a read-mode zip file.

Adding a file to a zip file

The ZipFile class has a couple of methods to add new files to a zip file, one of which keeps the file in clear and the other encrypts it with a password. Both methods return an instance of a OZZipWriteStream class, which will be used solely for the scope of writing the content of the file, and then must be closed:

OZZipWriteStream *stream= [zipFile writeFileInZipWithName:@"abc.txt"
    compressionLevel:OZZipCompressionLevelBest];

[stream writeData:abcData];
[stream finishedWriting];

Adding a file to a zip file using encryption

Objective-Zip supports only traditional PKWare encryption, which is also the format most widely supported by common unzip utilities.

To add a file with encryption, it is necessary to precompute a CRC32 of the file being added. This is needed by traditional PKWare encryption to later verify that the password provided for decryption is correct.

The library includes a handy crc32 method as an NSData category (automatically imported under the umbrella header):

NSData *fileData= // Your file data
uint32_t crc= [fileData crc32];

OZZipWriteStream *stream= [zipFile writeFileInZipWithName:@"abc.txt"
    compressionLevel:OZZipCompressionLevelBest
    password:@"password"
    crc32:crc];

[stream writeData:fileData];
[stream finishedWriting];

Note that passing 0 (or any other non-CRC32 number) as the crc32 argument will make the decryption fail, even if the correct password is specified.

Note also that if your file is too large to be stored in a single NSData, you can still compute the CRC32 progressively by using a loop:

NSFileHandle *fileHandle= // Your file handle

uint32_t crc= 0;
do {

    // Read a chunk of the file in data buffer
    NSData *data= [fileHandle readDataOfLength:BUFFER_SIZE];
    if ([data length] == 0)
        break;

    crc= [data crc32withInitialCrc32:crc];

} while (YES);

Reading a file from a zip file

The OZZipFile class, when used in unzip mode, must be treated like a cursor: you position the instance on a file at a time, either by step-forwarding or by locating the file by name. Once you are on the correct file, you can obtain an instance of a OZZipReadStream that will let you read the content (and then must be closed).

Since the file may not fit into memory, you can read it block by block using a buffer:

OZZipFile *unzipFile= [[OZZipFile alloc] initWithFileName:@"test.zip"
    mode:OZZipFileModeUnzip];

[unzipFile goToFirstFileInZip];

OZZipReadStream *read= [unzipFile readCurrentFileInZip];
NSMutableData *data= [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithLength:BUFFER_SIZE];

do {

    // Reset buffer length
    [data setLength:BUFFER_SIZE];

    // Read bytes and check for end of file
    int bytesRead= [read readDataWithBuffer:data];
    if (bytesRead <= 0)
        break;

    [data setLength:bytesRead];

    // Do something with data

} while (YES);

[read finishedReading];

Alternatively, if you know in advance the file will fit into memory, you may preallocate a buffer big enough and read the all file at once. In the example below the buffer is preallocated with precisely the uncompressed size of the file:

OZZipFile *unzipFile= [[OZZipFile alloc] initWithFileName:@"test.zip"
    mode:OZZipFileModeUnzip];

[unzipFile goToFirstFileInZip];
OZFileInZipInfo *info= [unzipFile getCurrentFileInZipInfo];

OZZipReadStream *read= [unzipFile readCurrentFileInZip];
NSMutableData *data= [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithLength:info.length];
[read readDataWithBuffer:data];

// Do something with data

[read finishedReading];

Note that the NSMutableData instance that acts as the read buffer must have been set with a length greater than 0: the readDataWithBuffer API will use that length to know how many bytes it can fetch from the zip file.

Listing files in a zip file

When the ZipFile class is used in unzip mode, it can also list the files contained in zip by filling an NSArray with instances of FileInZipInfo class. You can then use its name property to locate the file inside the zip and expand it:

OZZipFile *unzipFile= [[OZZipFile alloc] initWithFileName:@"test.zip"
    mode:OZZipFileModeUnzip];

NSArray *infos= [unzipFile listFileInZipInfos];
for (OZFileInZipInfo *info in infos) {
    NSLog(@"- %@ %@ %llu (%d)", info.name, info.date, info.size, info.level);

    // Locate the file in the zip
    [unzipFile locateFileInZip:info.name];

    // Expand the file in memory
    OZZipReadStream *read= [unzipFile readCurrentFileInZip];
    NSMutableData *data= [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithLength:info.length];
    int bytesRead= [read readDataWithBuffer:data];
    [read finishedReading];
}

Note that the OZFileInZipInfo class provide two sizes:

length is the original (uncompressed) file size, while
size is the compressed file size.

Closing the zip file

Remember, when you are done, to close your OZZipFile instance to avoid file corruption problems:

[zipFile close];

File/folder hierarchy inide the zip

Please note that inside the zip files there is no representation of a file-folder hierarchy: it is simply embedded in file names (i.e.: a file with a name like "x/y/z/file.txt"). It is up to the program that extracts files to consider these file names as expressing a structure and rebuild it on the file system (and viceversa during creation). Common zippers/unzippers simply follow this rule.

Error handling

Objective-Zip provides two kinds of error handling:

standard exception handling;
Apple's NSError pattern.

With standard exception handling, Objective-Zip will throw an exception of class OZZipException any time an error occurs (programmer or runtime errors).

To use standard exception handling import Objective-Zip in your project with this statement:

#import "Objective-Zip.h"

With Apple's NSError pattern, Objective-Zip will expect a NSError pointer-to-pointer argument and will fill it with an NSError instance whenever a runtime error occurs. Will revert to throwing an exception (of OZZipException class) in case of programmer errors.

To use Apple's NSError pattern import Objective-Zip in your project with this statement:

#import "Objective-Zip+NSError.h"

Apple's NSError pattern is of course mandatory with Swift programming language, since it does not support exception handling.

Differences in the interface

Note that a few minor differences exist in the standard interface vs. the NSError pattern interface. Specifically:

[OZZipFile locateFileInZip:error:] returns a NSInteger in place of a BOOL. Here the special values OZLocateFileResultNotFound and OZLocateFileResultNotFound, respectively 1 and -1, are used in place of YES and NO, since 0 is reserved for the case where an error occurred.
[OZZipReadStream readDataWithBuffer:error:] similarly returns a NSInteger in place of a NSUInteger. Here the special value OZReadStreamResultEndOfFile, corresponding to -1, is used for the end-of-file case, since 0 is again reserved for error occurrence.

What is C#? C# is pronounced "C-Sharp". It is an object-oriented programming language created by Microsoft that runs on the .NET Framework. C# has roots from the C family, and the language is close to other popular languages like C++ and Java. The first version was released in year 2002. The latest version, C# 8, was released in September 2019. C# is a modern object-oriented programming language developed in 2000 by Anders Hejlsberg, the principal designer and lead architect at Microsoft. It is pronounced as "C-Sharp," inspired by the musical notation “♯” which stands for a note with a slightly higher pitch. As it’s considered an incremental compilation of the C++ language, the name C “sharp” seemed most appropriate. The sharp symbol, however, has been replaced by the keyboard friendly “#” as a suffix to “C” for purposes of programming. Although the code is very similar to C++, C# is newer and has grown fast with extensive support from Microsoft. The fact that it’s so similar to Java syntactically helps explain why it has emerged as one of the most popular programming languages today. C# is pronounced "C-Sharp".

The latest version, C# 8, was released in September 2019. C# is used for: Mobile applications Desktop applications Web applications Web services Web sites Games VR Database applications And much, much more! An Introduction to C# Programming C# is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that is structured and easy to learn. It runs on Microsoft’s .Net Framework and can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms. As the syntax is simple and easy to learn, developers familiar with C, C++, or Java have found a comfort zone within C#. C# is a boon for developers who want to build a wide range of applications on the .NET Framework—Windows applications, Web applications, and Web services—in addition to building mobile apps, Windows Store apps, and enterprise software. It is thus considered a powerful programming language and features in every developer’s cache of tools. Although first released in 2002, when it was introduced with .NET Framework 1.0, the C# language has evolved a great deal since then. The most recent version is C# 8.0, available in preview as part of Visual Studio. To get access to all of the new language features, you would need to install the latest preview version of .NET Core 3.0. C# is used for: Mobile applications Desktop applications Web applications Web services Web sites Games VR Database applications And much, much more! Why Use C#? It is one of the most popular programming language in the world It is easy to learn and simple to use It has a huge community support C# is an object oriented language which gives a clear structure to programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs. As C# is close to C, C++ and Java, it makes it easy for programmers to switch to C# or vice versa. The C# Environment You need the .NET Framework and an IDE (integrated development environment) to work with the C# language. The .NET Framework The .NET Framework platform of the Windows OS is required to write web and desktop-based applications using not only C# but also Visual Basic and Jscript, as the platform provides language interoperability. Besides, the .Net Framework allows C# to communicate with any of the other common languages, such as C++, Jscript, COBOL, and so on. IDEs Microsoft provides various IDEs for C# programming: Visual Studio 2010 (VS) Visual Studio Express Visual Web Developer Visual Studio Code (VSC) The C# source code files can be written using a basic text editor, like Notepad, and compiled using the command-line compiler of the .NET Framework. Alternative open-source versions of the .Net Framework can work on other operating systems as well. For instance, the Mono has a C# compiler and runs on several operating systems, including Linux, Mac, Android, BSD, iOS, Windows, Solaris, and UNIX. This brings enhanced development tools to the developer. As C# is part of the .Net Framework platform, it has access to its enormous library of codes and components, such as Common Language Runtime (CLR), the .Net Framework Class Library, Common Language Specification, Common Type System, Metadata and Assemblies, Windows Forms, ASP.Net and ASP.Net AJAX, Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), and LINQ. C# and Java C# and Java are high-level programming languages that share several similarities (as well as many differences). They are both object-oriented languages much influenced by C++. But while C# is suitable for application development in the Microsoft ecosystem from the front, Java is considered best for client-side web applications. Also, while C# has many tools for programming, Java has a larger arsenal of tools to choose from in IDEs and Text Editors. C# is used for virtual reality projects like games, mobile, and web applications. It is built specifically for Microsoft platforms and several non-Microsoft-based operating systems, like the Mono Project that works with Linux and OS X. Java is used for creating messaging applications and developing web-based and enterprise-based applications in open-source ecosystems. Both C# and Java support arrays. However, each language uses them differently. In C#, arrays are a specialization of the system; in Java, they are a direct specialization of the object. The C# programming language executes on the CLR. The source code is interpreted into bytecode, which is further compiled by the CLR. Java runs on any platform with the assistance of JRE (Java Runtime Environment). The written source code is first compiled into bytecode and then converted into machine code to be executed on a JRE. C# and C++ Although C# and C++ are both C-based languages with similar code, there are some differences. For one, C# is considered a component-oriented programming language, while C++ is a partial object-oriented language. Also, while both languages are compiled languages, C# compiles to CLR and is interpreted by.NET, but C++ compiles to machine code. The size of binaries in C# is much larger than in C++. Other differences between the two include the following: C# gives compiler errors and warnings, but C++ doesn’t support warnings, which may cause damage to the OS. C# runs in a virtual machine for automatic memory management. C++ requires you to manage memory manually. C# can create Windows, .NET, web, desktop, and mobile applications, but not stand-alone apps. C++ can create server-side, stand-alone, and console applications as it can work directly with the hardware. C++ can be used on any platform, while C# is targeted toward Windows OS. Generally, C++ being faster than C#, the former is preferred for applications where performance is essential. Features of C# The C# programming language has many features that make it more useful and unique when compared to other languages, including: Object-oriented language Being object-oriented, C# allows the creation of modular applications and reusable codes, an advantage over C++. As an object-oriented language, C# makes development and maintenance easier when project size grows. It supports all three object-oriented features: data encapsulation, inheritance, interfaces, and polymorphism. Simplicity C# is a simple language with a structured approach to problem-solving. Unsafe operations, like direct memory manipulation, are not allowed. Speed The compilation and execution time in C# is very powerful and fast. A Modern programming language C# programming is used for building scalable and interoperable applications with support for modern features like automatic garbage collection, error handling, debugging, and robust security. It has built-in support for a web service to be invoked from any app running on any platform. Type-safe Arrays and objects are zero base indexed and bound checked. There is an automatic checking of the overflow of types. The C# type safety instances support robust programming. Interoperability Language interoperability of C# maximizes code reuse for the efficiency of the development process. C# programs can work upon almost anything as a program can call out any native API. Consistency Its unified type system enables developers to extend the type system simply and easily for consistent behavior. Updateable C# is automatically updateable. Its versioning support enables complex frameworks to be developed and evolved. Component oriented C# supports component-oriented programming through the concepts of properties, methods, events, and attributes for self-contained and self-describing components of functionality for robust and scalable applications. Structured Programming Language The structured design and modularization in C# break a problem into parts, using functions for easy implementation to solve significant problems. Rich Library C# has a standard library with many inbuilt functions for easy and fast development. Prerequisites for Learning C# Basic knowledge of C or C++ or any programming language or programming fundamentals. Additionally, the OOP concept makes for a short learning curve of C#. Advantages of C# There are many advantages to the C# language that makes it a useful programming language compared to other languages like Java, C, or C++. These include: Being an object-oriented language, C# allows you to create modular, maintainable applications and reusable codes Familiar syntax Easy to develop as it has a rich class of libraries for smooth implementation of functions Enhanced integration as an application written in .NET will integrate and interpret better when compared to other NET technologies As C# runs on CLR, it makes it easy to integrate with components written in other languages It’s safe, with no data loss as there is no type-conversion so that you can write secure codes The automatic garbage collection keeps the system clean and doesn’t hang it during execution As your machine has to install the .NET Framework to run C#, it supports cross-platform Strong memory backup prevents memory leakage Programming support of the Microsoft ecosystem makes development easy and seamless Low maintenance cost, as C# can develop iOS, Android, and Windows Phone native apps The syntax is similar to C, C++, and Java, which makes it easier to learn and work with C# Useful as it can develop iOS, Android, and Windows Phone native apps with the Xamarin Framework C# is the most powerful programming language for the .NET Framework Fast development as C# is open source steered by Microsoft with access to open source projects and tools on Github, and many active communities contributing to the improvement What Can C Sharp Do for You?
