1. Overview

In this quick tutorial, we’ll discuss how to zip a file into an archive and how to unzip the archive – all using core libraries provided by Java.

These core libraries are part of the java.util.zip package – where we can find all zipping and unzipping related utilities.

2. Zip a File

Let’s first have a look at a simple operation – zipping a single file.

For our example here we’ll zip a file named test1.txt into an archived named compressed.zip.

We’ll of course first access the file from disk – let’s have a look:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

public class ZipFile {     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {         String sourceFile = "test1.txt";         FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("compressed.zip");         ZipOutputStream zipOut = new ZipOutputStream(fos);         File fileToZip = new File(sourceFile);         FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileToZip);         ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(fileToZip.getName());         zipOut.putNextEntry(zipEntry);         final byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];         int length;         while((length = fis.read(bytes)) >= 0) {             zipOut.write(bytes, 0, length);         }         zipOut.close();         fis.close();         fos.close();     } }

3. Zip Multiple Files

Next, let’s see how to zip multiple files into one zip file. We will compress test1.txt and test2.txt into multiCompressed.zip:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

public class ZipMultipleFiles {     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {         List<String> srcFiles = Arrays.asList("test1.txt", "test2.txt");         FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("multiCompressed.zip");         ZipOutputStream zipOut = new ZipOutputStream(fos);         for (String srcFile : srcFiles) {             File fileToZip = new File(srcFile);             FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileToZip);             ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(fileToZip.getName());             zipOut.putNextEntry(zipEntry);               byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];             int length;             while((length = fis.read(bytes)) >= 0) {                 zipOut.write(bytes, 0, length);             }             fis.close();         }         zipOut.close();         fos.close();     } }

4. Zip a Directory

Now, let’s discuss how to zip an entire directory. We will directory zipTest into dirCompressed.zip :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

public class ZipDirectory {     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {         String sourceFile = "zipTest";         FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("dirCompressed.zip");         ZipOutputStream zipOut = new ZipOutputStream(fos);         File fileToZip = new File(sourceFile);           zipFile(fileToZip, fileToZip.getName(), zipOut);         zipOut.close();         fos.close();     }       private static void zipFile(File fileToZip, String fileName, ZipOutputStream zipOut) throws IOException {         if (fileToZip.isHidden()) {             return;         }         if (fileToZip.isDirectory()) {             File[] children = fileToZip.listFiles();             for (File childFile : children) {                 zipFile(childFile, fileName + "/" + childFile.getName(), zipOut);             }             return;         }         FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileToZip);         ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(fileName);         zipOut.putNextEntry(zipEntry);         byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];         int length;         while ((length = fis.read(bytes)) >= 0) {             zipOut.write(bytes, 0, length);         }         fis.close();     } }

Note that:

• To zip sub-directories, we iterate through them recursively.
• Every time we find a directory, we append its name to the descendants ZipEntryname to save the hierarchy.

5. Unzip an Archive

Let’s now unzip an archive and extract its contents.

For this example we’ll actually use the archive that got created in the previous code sample – compressed.zip – and we’ll unzip that into a new folder named unzipTest.

Let’s have a look:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

public class UnzipFile {     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {         String fileZip = "compressed.zip";         byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];         ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileZip));         ZipEntry zipEntry = zis.getNextEntry();         while(zipEntry != null){             String fileName = zipEntry.getName();             File newFile = new File("unzipTest/" + fileName);             FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(newFile);             int len;             while ((len = zis.read(buffer)) > 0) {                 fos.write(buffer, 0, len);             }             fos.close();             zipEntry = zis.getNextEntry();         }         zis.closeEntry();         zis.close();     } }

6. Conclusion

This tutorial illustrated how is simple using of Java libraries for operations of zipping and unzipping files.

The implementation of these examples can be found over on GitHub – this is a Maven-based project, so it should be easy to import and run as it is.
