You might be surprised to learn just how many files are zip files.
Java software (jar, war): zip files
Android packages (apk): zip files
OpenDocument Format (odt, ods, odp): zip files
Quake 3 / OpenArena / Urban Terror / etc. (pk3): zip files
Firefox/Thunderbird/Chromium extensions (xpi, crx): zip files
EPUB: :D
- ok123456 6y agonumpy's npz is also zip.
- sumtechguy 6y agoJust look for that PK in the first 2 bytes of the file and it is a good chance it is a zip file. That jar/war one has saved me a few times in figuring out what exactly the compiler did to a program.
- Turing_Machine 6y agoYeah, it is surprising at first, but after you think about it, maybe not so much. If you need to cram a bunch of files into one package, zip is the obvious candidate. There are well-tested libraries and apps for dealing with zips for essentially every language and operating system. As the saying goes, "don't mess with success".
