An input stream for reading compressed and uncompressed ZIP file entries from a stream of bytes in the ZIP file format.

Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor or method in this class will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown.

Reading Zip File Entries

The getNextEntry() method is used to read the next ZIP file entry (Local file (LOC) header record in the ZIP format) and position the stream at the entry's file data. The file data may read using one of the ZipInputStream read methods such as read or readAllBytes(). For example:
Path jar = Path.of("foo.jar"); try (InputStream is = Files.newInputStream(jar); ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(is)) { ZipEntry ze; while ((ze = zis.getNextEntry()) != null) { var bytes = zis.readAllBytes(); System.out.printf("Entry: %s, bytes read: %s%n", ze.getName(), bytes.length); } }
Path jar = Path.of("foo.jar");
try (InputStream is = Files.newInputStream(jar);
     ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(is)) {
    ZipEntry ze;
    while ((ze = zis.getNextEntry()) != null) {
       var bytes = zis.readAllBytes();
       System.out.printf("Entry: %s, bytes read: %s%n", ze.getName(),
               bytes.length);
    }
}

API Note

The LOC header contains metadata about the ZIP file entry. ZipInputStream does not read the Central directory (CEN) header for the entry and therefore will not have access to its metadata such as the external file attributes. ZipFile may be used when the information stored within the CEN header is required.

expect64BitDataDescriptorback to summary
private boolean expect64BitDataDescriptor(byte[] extra, int flag, long csize, long size)

Determine whether the readEnd(ZipEntry) method should interpret the 'compressed size' and 'uncompressed size' fields of the Data Descriptor record as 64-bit numbers instead of the regular 32-bit numbers. Returns true if the LOC has the 'streaming mode' flag set, at least one of the 'compressed size' and 'uncompressed size' are set to the Zip64 magic value 0xFFFFFFFF, and the LOC's extra field contains a Zip64 Extended Information Field.

Parameters

flag:int

the value of the 'general purpose bit flag' field in the LOC

csize:long

readback to summary
public int read() throws IOException

Overrides java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read.

Reads the next byte of data from the input stream for the current ZIP entry. This method will block until enough input is available for decompression.

Returns:int

the byte read, or -1 if the end of the stream is reached

readback to summary
public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException

Overrides java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read.

Reads the requested number of bytes from the input stream into the given byte array for the current ZIP entry returning the number of inflated bytes. If len is not zero, the method blocks until some input is available; otherwise, no bytes are read and 0 is returned.

If the current entry is compressed and this method returns a nonzero integer n then buf[off] through buf[off+n-1] contain the uncompressed data. The content of elements buf[off+n] through buf[off+len-1] is undefined, contrary to the specification of the InputStream superclass, so an implementation is free to modify these elements during the inflate operation. If this method returns -1 or throws an exception then the content of buf[off] through buf[off+len-1] is undefined.

Parameters
b:byte[]

the buffer into which the data is read

off:int

the start offset in the destination array b

len:int

the maximum number of bytes read

Returns:int

the actual number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of the entry is reached

Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error has occurred
IndexOutOfBoundsException:
if off is negative, len is negative, or len is greater than b.length - off
ZipException:
if a ZIP file error has occurred
readAllBytesback to summary
public byte[] readAllBytes() throws IOException

Overrides java.io.InputStream.readAllBytes.

Reads all remaining bytes from the input stream for the current ZIP entry. This method blocks until all remaining bytes have been read and end of stream is detected, or an exception is thrown. This method does not close the input stream.

When this stream reaches end of stream, further invocations of this method will return an empty byte array.

Note that this method is intended for simple cases where it is convenient to read all bytes into a byte array. It is not intended for reading input streams with large amounts of data.

If an I/O error occurs reading from the input stream, then it may do so after some, but not all, bytes have been read. Consequently, the input stream may not be at end of stream and may be in an inconsistent state. It is strongly recommended that the stream be promptly closed if an I/O error occurs.

readEndback to summary
private void readEnd(ZipEntry e) throws IOException

Reads end of deflated entry as well as EXT descriptor if present. Local headers for DEFLATED entries may optionally be followed by a data descriptor, and that data descriptor may optionally contain a leading signature (EXTSIG). From the ZIP spec http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT """Although not originally assigned a signature, the value 0x08074b50 has commonly been adopted as a signature value for the data descriptor record. Implementers should be aware that ZIP files may be encountered with or without this signature marking data descriptors and should account for either case when reading ZIP files to ensure compatibility."""

private void readFully(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
readLOCback to summary
private ZipEntry readLOC() throws IOException
readNBytesback to summary
public byte[] readNBytes(int len) throws IOException

Overrides java.io.InputStream.readNBytes.

Reads up to a specified number of bytes from the input stream for the current ZIP entry. This method blocks until the requested number of bytes has been read, end of stream is detected, or an exception is thrown. This method does not close the input stream.

The length of the returned array equals the number of bytes read from the stream. If len is zero, then no bytes are read and an empty byte array is returned. Otherwise, up to len bytes are read from the stream. Fewer than len bytes may be read if end of stream is encountered.

When this stream reaches end of stream, further invocations of this method will return an empty byte array.

Note that this method is intended for simple cases where it is convenient to read the specified number of bytes into a byte array. The total amount of memory allocated by this method is proportional to the number of bytes read from the stream which is bounded by len. Therefore, the method may be safely called with very large values of len provided sufficient memory is available.

If an I/O error occurs reading from the input stream, then it may do so after some, but not all, bytes have been read. Consequently, the input stream may not be at end of stream and may be in an inconsistent state. It is strongly recommended that the stream be promptly closed if an I/O error occurs.

Implementation Note

This method calls super.readNBytes(int len).

readNBytesback to summary
public int readNBytes(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException

Overrides java.io.InputStream.readNBytes.

Reads the requested number of bytes from the input stream into the given byte array for the current ZIP entry returning the number of inflated bytes. This method blocks until len bytes of input data have been read, end of stream is detected, or an exception is thrown. The number of bytes actually read, possibly zero, is returned. This method does not close the input stream.

In the case where end of stream is reached before len bytes have been read, then the actual number of bytes read will be returned. When this stream reaches end of stream, further invocations of this method will return zero.

If len is zero, then no bytes are read and 0 is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read up to len bytes.

The first byte read is stored into element b[off], the next one in to b[off+1], and so on. The number of bytes read is, at most, equal to len. Let k be the number of bytes actually read; these bytes will be stored in elements b[off] through b[off+k-1], leaving elements b[off+k ] through b[off+len-1] unaffected.

If an I/O error occurs reading from the input stream, then it may do so after some, but not all, bytes of b have been updated with data from the input stream. Consequently, the input stream and b may be in an inconsistent state. It is strongly recommended that the stream be promptly closed if an I/O error occurs.

public long skip(long n) throws IOException

Overrides java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.skip.

Skips over and discards n bytes of data from this input stream for the current ZIP entry.

Returns:long

the actual number of bytes skipped

Exceptions
IOException:

ZipException:

public void skipNBytes(long n) throws IOException

Overrides java.io.InputStream.skipNBytes.

Skips over and discards exactly n bytes of data from this input stream for the current ZIP entry. If n is zero, then no bytes are skipped. If n is negative, then no bytes are skipped. Subclasses may handle the negative value differently.

This method blocks until the requested number of bytes has been skipped, end of file is reached, or an exception is thrown.

If end of stream is reached before the stream is at the desired position, then an EOFException is thrown.

If an I/O error occurs, then the input stream may be in an inconsistent state. It is strongly recommended that the stream be promptly closed if an I/O error occurs.

transferToback to summary
public long transferTo(OutputStream out) throws IOException

Overrides java.io.InputStream.transferTo.

Reads all bytes from this input stream for the current ZIP entry and writes the bytes to the given output stream in the order that they are read. On return, this input stream will be at end of stream. This method does not close either stream.

This method may block indefinitely reading from the input stream, or writing to the output stream. The behavior for the case where the input and/or output stream is asynchronously closed, or the thread interrupted during the transfer, is highly input and output stream specific, and therefore not specified.

If the total number of bytes transferred is greater than Long#MAX_VALUE, then Long.MAX_VALUE will be returned.

If an I/O error occurs reading from the input stream or writing to the output stream, then it may do so after some bytes have been read or written. Consequently, the input stream may not be at end of stream and one, or both, streams may be in an inconsistent state. It is strongly recommended that both streams be promptly closed if an I/O error occurs.
