Archive Conversion
While you might be familiar with
Introduction to Archives, the terms convert and conversion can feel nuanced when discussing archive formats. After all, these operations often involve repackaging rather than transforming data itself. However, for simplicity and consistency with common terminology, we’ll use these terms where appropriate.
The chapters in this section will guide you through the conversion capabilities of Aspose.Zip for .NET, starting with simple use cases like converting from RAR to ZIP, ZIP to 7Z, and ZIP to TAR.GZ, before exploring more advanced operations. As ZIP is the most widely used archive format, we will focus on it while also addressing conversions between other formats later.
It’s important to note that Aspose.Zip supports a wide range of archive formats and provides options for encryption, compression level settings, and error-handling strategies. If you encounter a less common archive format or specific packaging needs, we offer detailed customization options in this section.
