About:
FuseZip mounts ZIP archives as a FUSE filesystem, allowing users to browse and manipulate archive contents directly using standard file operations. It provides transparent read and write access, eliminating the need to extract archives manually. This tool streamlines archive management by treating compressed files like regular directories.

Key Features:

Transparent read/write access to ZIP archives
No need to extract archives to disk
Supports standard file operations (cp, mv, rm, mkdir)
Preserves file permissions and timestamps

Use Cases:

Browsing large ZIP archives without full extraction
Selective file extraction or modification within archives
Automated archive management in scripts

Alternatives:

archivemount – Supports multiple formats but may have performance overhead
AVFS – Virtual filesystem supporting many formats, but less ZIP-specific optimization
