libzip is one of the most full-featured and widely-used open source libraries for working with Zip arhives and has been adopted by numerous open source projects as well as commercial products. The library is implemented in C, which also makes it ideal for implementing language-specific bindings.
While its documentation is very comprehensive, I find the descriptions of its various API’s to often be unclear, and there are no examples provided for how various common use cases could be implemented using the library.
