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

Rust

// Open an existing ZIP archive.
let zip = chilkat::Zip::new();

if zip.open_zip("example.zip").is_err() {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Get the ZIP directory information as XML.
let xml = zip.get_directory_as_xml().unwrap_or_default();

println!("{}", 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>

zip.close_zip();

println!("Done.");
