Installation

Warning: Make sure that the code is parsed in UTF-8, e.g. served with the HTTP header "Content-Type: application/javascript; charset=utf-8", otherwise filenames might be corrupted when reading zip files.

You can get the code via:

JSR by importing zip.js as an ECMAScript module:
```
import * as zip from "jsr:@zip-js/zip-js";
```

or NPM by running:

$ npm install @zip.js/zip.js

and importing the libary as an ECMAScript module:
```
import * as zip from "@zip.js/zip.js";
```
or as a CommonJS module:
```
const zip = require("@zip.js/zip.js");
```

You can also install manually the library by adding zip.min.js from the /dist directory in your project. If you don't want to use web workers, add zip-full.min.js instead. Then, include zip.min.js (or zip-full.min.js) in your HTML page:

as an AMD module:

require(["/library_path/zip.min.js"], zip => {
  // ...
});

or as a regular script:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/library_path/zip.min.js">
</script>
<script>
  // the zip API is in the `zip` global variable
  // ...
</script>
