About This Tool

The izip viewer provides non-destructive inspection of archive contents without extraction. It supports multiple formats and builds a structured index of entries, including paths, sizes, dates, and directory structure. This enables quick verification of archive contents for developers, QA, and IT teams.
Conceptually, the tool parses format metadata to produce a read-only listing that can be filtered, sorted, and searched. It does not modify archives and can limit resource use by streaming metadata rather than loading entire archives into memory.
Beneficiaries include CI pipelines that validate archives before deployment, content custodians auditing data, and support teams diagnosing issues without unpacking files. Its value lies in fast visibility across large archives and consistent, exportable metadata.
Core features include format detection, per-entry fields (path, size, modification date, is_dir, compressed_size), and robust error reporting for unreadable or unsupported entries. Optional exports to CSV or JSON enable downstream processing in data workflows. Use cases range from pre-release checks to compliance audits and data reconciliation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What archive formats are supported?

Supported formats include ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, 7Z, and RAR. Some complex multi-volume or highly encrypted archives may require additional handling or are unsupported without a password. The tool focuses on non-destructive metadata and safety first.

Can I view large archives efficiently?

Yes. The tool builds a non-destructive index and can stream metadata rather than loading full contents. This minimizes memory usage and enables fast searches and filtering even for large archives.

How can I export results?

The listing can be exported as CSV or JSON, preserving fields such as path, size, modified date, is_dir, and compressed_size. Export formats are designed for easy integration into data workflows.

Is extraction performed?

No. The tool performs non-destructive inspection and does not extract files. For extraction, use a dedicated archive extraction tool or library.
