Unzip Tool

The tool accepts a ZIP-based archive via a file input and returns extracted contents as downloadable artifacts or in-memory payloads. It is designed for developers, data engineers, IT admins, and QA teams who need quick access to archived data without installing software.
Conceptually, extraction reads each archive entry, validates metadata, and streams decompressed content. If the archive is password-protected and a password is provided, decryption is attempted; otherwise, encrypted entries yield an explicit error and are skipped unless a password resolves them.
Value lies in its lightweight, API-friendly workflow, deterministic handling of common ZIP variants, and clear error signaling. It supports selective extraction by patterns and returns per-file metadata such as name, size, and mime type to support downstream processing.
Typical use cases include data ingestion prep, log bundle analysis, software package verification, and archival audits. The tool emphasizes robust domain logic, input validation, tracking of extracted content, and easy integration into automated pipelines.
