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

Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    //  Open an existing ZIP archive.
    let zip = CkoZip()!

    success = zip.open(zipPath: "example.zip")
    if success == false {
        print("\(zip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    //  Get the ZIP directory information as XML.
    var xml: String? = zip.getDirectoryAsXML()

    print("\(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()

    print("Done.")
