Archiver for Unity3D is a powerful utility for compressing and decompressing files and folders in Unity 2017.3 or later. Moreover, using the built-in mechanism, you couldn't compress a folder with its subfolders and files.
Archiver makes compressing and decompressing amazingly easy, using just two lines of code:
Archiver.Compress(source, destination); // Zip
Archiver.Decompress(source, destination); // Unzip
Where source and destination are the specified files and folders. You can run the included demo and test by yourselves.
- Build the project in
Releasemode using Visual Studio 2017 or later. - Drag and drop the
LightBuzz.Archiver.dllinto yourPluginsfolder. - In Unity, select
Edit→Project Settings→Other Settings→Configurationand set theScripting Runtime Versionto.NET 4.6.
The archiving functionality is compatible with Unity 2017.3 or later version. The following platforms are supported:
- iOS
- macOS
- Android
- Windows Standalone (x86 and x64)
- Universal Windows Platform (UWP)
To use the Archiver, first include a reference to the assembly:
using LightBuzz.Archiver;
string source = @"C:\Users\LightBuzz\Desktop\Foo.txt";
string destination = @"C:\Users\LightBuzz\Desktop\Foo.zip";
Archiver.Compress(source, destination);
string source = @"C:\Users\LightBuzz\Desktop\Foo\";
string destination = @"C:\Users\LightBuzz\Desktop\Foo.zip";
Archiver.Compress(source, destination);
string source = @"C:\Users\LightBuzz\Desktop\Foo.zip";
string destination = @"C:\Users\LightBuzz\Desktop\Foo\";
Archiver.Compress(source, destination);
That's it!
