This software component enables developers to easily add Zip/Unzip functionality to their apps. It is highly performant and works with any language that supports ActiveX or DLLs. It also includes AES strong encryption compatible with WinZip 9.0.
Xceed Zip is a high-performance Zip and Unzip data compression library that is perfect for creating and manipulating 100% PKZip-compatible Zip files, as well as compressing and uncompressing data directly in memory. This software is designed to provide the ultimate in flexibility while also being the easiest product of its kind to use.
One of the key features of Xceed Zip is its state-of-the-art, fully documented ActiveX COM component. This component provides the industry's most complete feature set and the fastest multi-threaded compression engine available. The ActiveX component supports both single-threaded (STA) and multi-threaded (MTA) apartment models and has very low memory requirements.
Xceed Zip is perfectly suited for use in environments that run multiple zip/unzip operations simultaneously. It can run in the background and can be dynamically instantiated for formless use. With Xceed Zip, applications receive detailed information about the current compression activity, have full control over each file's information as it is being zipped and unzipped, and can be consulted by the library when choices need to be made.
Xceed Zip is known for its superb design and ease of use, and the latest version continues this tradition. It offers categorized properties, built-in constants and enumerations, context-sensitive F1-help, optional parameters, and built-in help strings. There are twenty intelligently thought-out events that the component can trigger, so your application is never in the dark and can manipulate the library in real-time.
Another key feature of Xceed Zip is its compatibility with the latest PKZip 4.5 zip file format, as well as the traditional 2.04g format. Files that are compressed using the latest Zip format can be extracted using any of today's popular unzipping applications. Xceed Zip also includes comprehensive online documentation that is packed with examples, as well as complete sample applications.
Overall, Xceed Zip is a must-have software for any developer who needs to create, manipulate, or compress data in memory. It offers the ultimate in flexibility and ease of use while providing the most complete feature set and fastest multi-threaded compression engine available. Highly recommended!
