Listing The Content Of Zip File With Zip Information In Java

The main objective of this tutorial is to show how to list  the content of a zip file along with zipping information. The program shows you:

• How to iterate through the list of content of a zip file
• How to get the name of the individual zip entry
• How to get the compressed file size of an individual zip entry
• How to get the uncompressed file size of an individual zip entry
• How to obtain the CRC information of a zip entry
• How to convert the long CRC information into hex format
• How to obtain the comments of the individual zip entry.
• Also note that since this tutorial tells you how to get the compressed file size and uncompressed file size, you can calculate the zip ratio yourself.
