Learn how to add Perfect‑Zip to Swift projects, zip/unzip files, and see example code from the official GitHub repo.
Perfect Zip 3.0 was released on GitHub, adding a Swift wrapper for the minizip C library that lets developers zip and unzip files with a single call [1]. The update is relevant for Swift developers needing lightweight archive handling without external dependencies.
| At a glance | |
|---|---|
| Version | 3.0 |
| Language | Swift |
| Core library | minizip C |
| Primary functions | zipFiles, unzipFile |
To use Perfect‑Zip, add the package dependency to Package.swift with the URL https://github.com/PerfectlySoft/Perfect-Zip.git and specify a major version of 3 [1]. After importing PerfectZip, instantiate a Zip object and call zipFiles or unzipFile with the required parameters. The API returns a ZipStatus enum indicating success or specific failure reasons such as .FileNotFound or .ZipFail [3].
The README shows a basic example that zips a directory to /path/to/ZipFile.zip and overwrites any existing file [1]. Unzipping follows the same pattern, specifying the source zip and destination folder. Both operations can include an optional password parameter, which defaults to an empty string for unprotected archives [1][3].
The release provides a straightforward way for Swift developers to handle ZIP archives, filling a niche that previously required more heavyweight solutions or external tools.
