## Class ZipFile

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipFile

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable

      public class ZipFile
      extends Object
      implements Closeable

  Replacement for `java.util.ZipFile`.

  This class adds support for file name encodings other than UTF-8 (which is required to work on ZIP files created by native zip tools and is able to skip a preamble like the one found in self extracting archives. Furthermore it returns instances of `org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipArchiveEntry` instead of `java.util.zip.ZipEntry`.

  It doesn't extend `java.util.zip.ZipFile` as it would have to reimplement all methods anyway. Like `java.util.ZipFile`, it uses RandomAccessFile under the covers and supports compressed and uncompressed entries. As of Apache Commons Compress 1.3 it also transparently supports Zip64 extensions and thus individual entries and archives larger than 4 GB or with more than 65536 entries.

  The method signatures mimic the ones of `java.util.zip.ZipFile`, with a couple of exceptions:

  - There is no getName method.
  - entries has been renamed to getEntries.
  - getEntries and getEntry return `org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipArchiveEntry` instances.
  - close is allowed to throw IOException.
