Just finished reading the COMPRESS-118 and the 2 threads. I have to say that's a lot of content. :) I have also read the Archiver and the Expander, and I do like them a lot. They have great abstraction, and the implementation for callback(CloseableConsumer and Finisher) do impressed me. In the threads someone was concerning that only few people use Commons Compress - I can tell that it's not that case : I'm in a big company in China and I can tell many teams are using Commons Compress. No need to worry about that. It seems other guys in threads are concerning about the real need for users. With enough feedback from users, everyone would agree with these high-level APIs. Maybe I can help you with it - just do some interviews to the users.

There is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-118 which at one point in time was the issue with the most votes IIRC. Around the time the ZipSlip vulnerability had to be fixed in various projects we discussed adding such a high-level API to Compress. You can find some code that I sketched back then inside of the examples package. At that time the majority of Compress developers felt a high-level API was out-of-scope for Compress and many people felt effort should rather be spent at Commons VFS. See the threads https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/0b86f62127f771a8ac3b6357a1c1bdb6b4d21bf18bc4a30d0b3650c8%40%3Cdev.commons.apache.org%3E https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/bb205705291c00ac8d36516b287a14d814dc5f1fe4d422f3f5c0db28%40%3Cdev.commons.apache.org%3E Stefan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
[Compress]Add some easy-to-use APIs for Zip and other archivers
Hi all. I'm thinking about adding some easy-to-use APIs for Zip. Currently I got some ideas : 1. Add extractAll(String targetPath) in ZipFile : extract all the files to the specific directory. 2. Add getInputStream(String fileName) in ZipFile : get the input stream for a file by name. And I believe these could also work in other archivers like tar, 7z and some other format. Do you think if this is a good idea or not? Lee
