    ;  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>
