archive
A unified, pure-Rust interface for extracting common archive formats in-memory.
This crate is currently in development and should not be used in production.
The API may change in future releases.
Features
- Unified API: Single interface for all archive formats
- In-memory extraction: No disk I/O required
- Safety limits: Protection against zip bombs and resource exhaustion
- Pure Rust: Minimal C dependencies (only bzip2)
- Cross-platform: Works on Linux, macOS, Windows (x86_64, ARM64)
