I am looking for a java library that extracts files from archives/ compresses files to create archives.
Given below are my requirements–
(1) It should extract widest range/types of archives
(2) Simple and requiring only few lines of code (unlike java’s default zip class).
(3) Production -grade: without defects.
Apache commons compress seems to be a good fit, it can deal with quite alot of different compression types and is very straight forward to use.
