About:
QuaZip is a comprehensive C++ library that provides a Qt-style wrapper for the popular minizip and zlib libraries, enabling seamless manipulation of ZIP archives. It allows developers to read, write, and extract files from ZIP archives using Qt's familiar I/O classes like QIODevice and QFile. This integration simplifies file compression tasks within Qt applications, offering a robust and easy-to-use API for handling archive operations.
Key Features:
  • Qt-style API for easy integration
  • Support for reading and writing ZIP archives
  • Utilizes zlib for compression/decompression
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Embedding file compression and extraction features in Qt applications
  • Creating or modifying ZIP archives programmatically
  • Distributing multiple files as a single compressed archive
Alternatives:
  • libzip – A pure C library, whereas QuaZip provides a convenient Qt wrapper around similar functionality.
  • KArchive – Part of the KDE frameworks, offering broader archive format support but potentially heavier for non-KDE Qt apps.
