I’ve got a ruby on rails site here (rails 2.0.2, ruby 1.8.6) with both rubyzip and zipruby installed, but they conflict on the File.exists? method so I want to remove one. What’s the general consensus out there on the best zipping api going forward?
Are there significant advantages of one over another?
Totally random answer, as I’ve never tried either: moving forward from your current state, RubyZip might be more promising. Judging from the following (scant) data, RubyZip is both more popular and seems to work better with new versions of Ruby:
RubyZip with 1.9: http://isitruby19.com/rubyzip
ZipRuby with 1.9: http://isitruby19.com/zipruby
Unless you get some better evidence, I’d go with rubyZip. Also see What zip library works well with Ruby 1.9.2?. However, there’s also a fork of RubyZip (https://github.com/postmodern/rubyzip2) again pointing to its popularity. And the docs looks more interesting.
