ZipFile (Apache Ant API)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.tools.zip, class: ZipFile

# Class ZipFile

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tools.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.tools.zip.ZipEntry` 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 Ant 1.9.0 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.tools.zip.ZipEntry` instances.
- close is allowed to throw IOException.

- ## Method Details

  - ### getEncoding

    public String getEncoding()
    The encoding to use for filenames and the file comment.
    Returns:
      null if using the platform's default character encoding.

  - ### close

    public void close() throws IOException
    Closes the archive.
