Provides classes for reading and writing the standard ZIP and GZIP file
formats. Also includes classes for compressing and decompressing data using
the DEFLATE compression algorithm, which is used by the ZIP and GZIP file
formats. Additionally, there are utility classes for computing the CRC-32,
CRC-32C and Adler-32 checksums of arbitrary input streams.
Package Specification

    

        Info-ZIP Application Note 970311 - a detailed description of the Info-ZIP format upon which the java.util.zip classes are based. 
An implementation may optionally support the
        ZIP64(tm) format extensions defined by the
        
        PKWARE ZIP File Format Specification. The ZIP64(tm) format
        extensions are used to overcome the size limitations of the
        original ZIP format.
