Hmm,
I think you are right as the Zip API is not separate it makes sense to
use only one DSL function. The question is then of course how would you
name it?
Would you rather name the operation split(Zip) or decompress(Zip)? If
the operation was named decompress the tar.gz example could be done like
this:
decompress(GZip).decompress(Tar)
and zip would simply look like decompress(Zip)
Btw. In our scenario we had the requirement that the files from the zip
had to be processed in a certain order. In our case the processing
should be done in order of the filenames.
Any idea how this could be expressed?
Greetings
Christian

This would work nice for tar.gz, but not so nice for zip and other formats
which tend to combine aggregation and compression in one operation. The main
question is, what exactly should do split(Zip) and what decompress(Zip) in
your scenario?

How about using .compress to compress and .decompress to extract
something?
Could perhaps the notion of extracting several parts from a container be
handled with the existing splitting component?
I imagine a 2 phase extraction like in tar.gz:
.decompress(Gzip).split(Tar)
or for a zip file:
.decompress(Zip).split(Zip)
