Is there any zip decompression for iPhone?

Question

I found the zlib and gzip decompression algorithms, but I need to compress a whole directory and download it from the server. Would rather not go file at a time.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I've had good luck using minizip on iPhone.

Answer 2

I attened a Tacow meeting in Toronto where Karl Kolpanic did a presentation on his ZipKit framework, which he said is also compatible with iPhone development.

It's available over at BitBucket.org: http://bitbucket.org/kolpanic/zipkit/

Answer 3

ziparchive, a Google Code project by "acsolu," provides an iPhone-compatible Objective-C wrapper around minizip. With a little adaptation, I found it useful for doing unzip on the iPhone as you described.
