Java comes with “java.util.zip” library to perform data compression in ZIp format. The overall concept is quite straightforward.
- Read file with “FileInputStream”
- Add the file name to “ZipEntry” and output it to “ZipOutputStream“
1. Simple ZIP example
Read a file “C:\spy.log” and compress it into a zip file – “C:\MyFile.zip“.
package com.mkyong.zip; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.zip.ZipEntry; import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream; public class App { public static void main( String[] args ) { byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; try{ FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C:\MyFile.zip"); ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos); ZipEntry ze= new ZipEntry("spy.log"); zos.putNextEntry(ze); FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("C:\spy.log"); int len; while ((len = in.read(buffer)) > 0) { zos.write(buffer, 0, len); } in.close(); zos.closeEntry(); //remember close it zos.close(); System.out.println("Done"); }catch(IOException ex){ ex.printStackTrace(); } } }
2. Advance ZIP example – Recursively
Read all files from folder “C:\testzip” and compress it into a zip file – “C:\MyFile.zip“. It will recursively zip a directory as well.
package com.mkyong.zip; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.zip.ZipEntry; import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream; public class AppZip { List<String> fileList; private static final String OUTPUT_ZIP_FILE = "C:\MyFile.zip"; private static final String SOURCE_FOLDER = "C:\testzip"; AppZip(){ fileList = new ArrayList<String>(); } public static void main( String[] args ) { AppZip appZip = new AppZip(); appZip.generateFileList(new File(SOURCE_FOLDER)); appZip.zipIt(OUTPUT_ZIP_FILE); } /** * Zip it * @param zipFile output ZIP file location */ public void zipIt(String zipFile){ byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; try{ FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipFile); ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos); System.out.println("Output to Zip : " + zipFile); for(String file : this.fileList){ System.out.println("File Added : " + file); ZipEntry ze= new ZipEntry(file); zos.putNextEntry(ze); FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(SOURCE_FOLDER + File.separator + file); int len; while ((len = in.read(buffer)) > 0) { zos.write(buffer, 0, len); } in.close(); } zos.closeEntry(); //remember close it zos.close(); System.out.println("Done"); }catch(IOException ex){ ex.printStackTrace(); } } /** * Traverse a directory and get all files, * and add the file into fileList * @param node file or directory */ public void generateFileList(File node){ //add file only if(node.isFile()){ fileList.add(generateZipEntry(node.getAbsoluteFile().toString())); } if(node.isDirectory()){ String[] subNote = node.list(); for(String filename : subNote){ generateFileList(new File(node, filename)); } } } /** * Format the file path for zip * @param file file path * @return Formatted file path */ private String generateZipEntry(String file){ return file.substring(SOURCE_FOLDER.length()+1, file.length()); } }
Output
Output to Zip : C:MyFile.zip File Added : pdfJava-Interview.pdf File Added : spylogspy.log File Added : utf-encoded.txt File Added : utf.txt Done
