.ZIP Application Note Support
In order to ensure the continued interoperability of the .ZIP file format for all users, PKWARE® publishes an Application Note on the .ZIP file format. The APPNOTE provides developers a general description and technical details of the .ZIP specification. This specification is periodically updated to include new features and information being introduced in anticipation of the emerging functionality requirements of the ZIP community.
The .ZIP format remains one of the most widely used file formats for cross-platform interoperability. Leading industry standards including the ECMA Office Open XML and the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications incorporate ZIP technology. Refer to Application Note Archives for more information.
If you would like to be updated on the developing .ZIP standard, please join the PKWARE APPNOTE subscription service. For additional information on the APPNOTE, see our Publication Policy.
