ZIP archive file: JavaScript parsing library

ZIP is a popular archive file format, introduced in 1989 by Phil Katz and originally implemented in PKZIP utility by PKWARE.

Thanks to solid support of it in most desktop environments and operating systems, and algorithms / specs availability in public domain, it quickly became tool of choice for implementing file containers.

For example, Java .jar files, OpenDocument, Office Open XML, EPUB files are actually ZIP archives.

Minimal Kaitai Struct required: 0.9

References

This page hosts a formal specification of ZIP archive file using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.

Usage

Runtime library

All parsing code for JavaScript generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the JavaScript runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.

The JavaScript runtime library is available at npm:

npm install kaitai-struct

Code

See the usage examples in the JavaScript notes.

Parse structure from an ArrayBuffer:

var arrayBuffer = ...;
var data = new Zip(new KaitaiStream(arrayBuffer));

After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing fields or properties like:

data.sections // => get sections

JavaScript source code to parse ZIP archive file

Zip.js

// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild

(function (root, factory) {
  if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
    define(['kaitai-struct/KaitaiStream', './DosDatetime'], factory);
  } else if (typeof module === 'object' && module.exports) {
    module.exports = factory(require('kaitai-struct/KaitaiStream'), require('./DosDatetime'));
  } else {
    root.Zip = factory(root.KaitaiStream, root.DosDatetime);
  }
}(typeof self !== 'undefined' ? self : this, function (KaitaiStream, DosDatetime) {
