Get ZIP Directory Information as XML

See more Zip Examples

This example demonstrates how to use the GetDirectoryAsXML method to retrieve information about the contents of a ZIP archive as an XML document.

The returned XML describes the files currently contained in the ZIP object

Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

#  Open an existing ZIP archive.
$zip = chilkat::CkZip->new();

$success = $zip->OpenZip("example.zip");
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  Get the ZIP directory information as XML.
$xml = $zip->getDirectoryAsXML();

print $xml . "\r\n";

#  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>

$zip->CloseZip();

print "Done." . "\r\n";
