Extracting item from archive to NSData object (without saving it to disk)

[pascalsimplice]

Hello,
This library is the best available for iOS in term of archiving unarchiving protected files.
It will be good to add additional features that would make it even better:

In certain scenarios extracting a file to disk and then reading it back into NSData is too cumbersome, specially when the only thing that is needed is to process the NSData.
It will be good to have the ability to extract an item from an archive directly as NSData.
Is that something that is possible?

Hi,
such functionality was not planned at all, as potentially unsafe.
But, after major library update 3.0 (Swift 4, PM and removing all dependencies to NS), this could happen.
