#import <CkoZip.h>
#import <NSString.h>

BOOL success = NO;

//  Open an existing ZIP archive.
CkoZip *zip = [[CkoZip alloc] init];

success = [zip OpenZip: @"example.zip"];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Get the ZIP directory information as XML.
NSString *xml = [zip GetDirectoryAsXML];

NSLog(@"%@",xml);

//  Suppose the ZIP contains:

//  data/config/settings.json
//  docs/readme.txt
//  images/logo.png

//  The XML contains one element for each ZIP entry.
//  Example:
//  
//  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
//  <zip_contents>
//      <dir name="data">
//          <dir name="config">
//              <file>settings.json</file>
//          </dir>
//      </dir>
//      <dir name="docs">
//          <file>readme.txt</file>
//      </dir>
//      <dir name="images">
//          <file>logo.png</file>
//      </dir>
//  </zip_contents>
