Creating zip files in ObjectiveC for iPhone

Question

Is it possible to create .zip files in objective C ?

Any libraries available or suggestions ?

Answer 1

BEfore someone mentions http://code.google.com/p/ziparchive/ .. I evaluated that code and it is pretty terrible. I ended up using it for a quick demo hack that had to do but I would never use it in production. ZipKit http://bitbucket.org/kolpanic/zipkit/wiki/Home seems to be in much better shape.

Answer 2

Do you really want to create a zip file or just compress some data? You can compress data using the existing zlib libraries very easily.
