Xceed Real-Time Zip for Windows Phone is a professional solution for zipping and unzipping within Windows Phone. It delivers the compression/decompression flexibility, such as unzipping user-provided or remotely hosted Zip files, whose data the app can then consume or send elsewhere over the network; or zipping user-selected files or data created by the app based on user input, and then sending it over the network.

Xceed Real-Time Zip for Windows Phone comes with powerful streaming compression/decompression, support for BZip2, BWT, Deflate, Deflate64™, and PPMd. AES encryption and decryption are supported for maximum security and WinZip compatibility. It even supports WinZip 12 files (LZMA and UTF-8). Events and properties monitor and control the zip/unzip operations.

Xceed Real-Time Zip for Windows Phone Features

  • The product's main ZipWriter and ZipReader classes use any seekable or non-seekable Stream-based object as the target or source Zip archive, respectively, for complete flexibility and “on-the-fly” compression/decompression.
  • Lightweight libraries.
  • Creation of Zip archives begins as soon as data to compress has been received: no waiting for all of the files, or even for complete files. It doesn’t need to know in advance the number or size of files.
  • Zip archives can be immediately sent over a network as soon as the creation process has begun, and the remainder of the archive becomes available as it is compressed.
  • Secure: Because no temporary files are used while creating a Zip file, there is less chance of unauthorized access or modification of files during the Zip creation process.
  • Archived files are extracted and available instantly for further processing by the application even if the component is still receiving the Zip archive.
  • The size or number of files in a Zip archive has absolutely no impact on memory and disk-space requirements.
  • Just a few methods and properties are needed to perform powerful Zip compression/extraction.
  • Supports the BZip2, BWT, Deflate, Deflate64™, and PPMd compression methods.
  • Provides four compression levels.
  • AES encryption and decryption are supported for maximum security and WinZip compatibility.
  • The only library to provide WinZip 12 compatibility, supporting the LZMA algorithm for improved compression in certain situations. Note: Zip files using WinZip 12’s special JPEG recompression feature are not supported.
  • UTF-8 character encoding is available in headers for improved support of international characters in filenames and comments.
  • Events and properties to monitor and control the zip/unzip operations are also provided.
  • Reads the Xceed Unicode Extra Header, so it can now preserve filenames with Unicode characters. Very useful for handling international characters.
  • Compatible with older zip tools.
  • The ZipWriter can generate uncompressed zip files that the product's ZipReader can read increasing flexibility (combines the Deflate format and no compression).
  • Includes license and key for Xceed Real-Time Zip for Silverlight.
