The best zip library with public domain license [closed]

Question

Does anyone know zip library of C/C++ in public domain license?

It meets the following requirements.

1. It operates by the unit like stb_image.c library
2. Supported cross platform. Windows, Mac, Linux and so on.
3. Language is C/C++
4. License is public domain.

Answer 1

I'd recommend ZipLib.

Personal reasons why I love this project:

• built around c++11 stl streams (e.g. decompresses into STL streams!)
• lightweight (no dependencies other than zlib)
• can be used on both windows & linux

It took me a long time to find this project -- hope this helps someone.

Answer 2

It didn't yet exist when the question was asked. But it does now: miniz - public domain, single C file, explicitly inspired by the likes of stb_image.

Answer 3

The most popular open source zip implementation is Info-Zip. Deflate algorithm used in zip file format is implemented by zlib library. Both are released on liberal, BSD-like license, but not public domain.
