Thread: Good ZIP library?

Hi all!!
can anyone recommend a good ZIP manipulating library? I work on windwos OS so cross platform-ness is not a player here.

I need it to:
1) zip together some files or create empty zip files
2) unzip files
3) give the entries a zip has
4) object oriented API
5) Free (I don't have problem include credits etc.)

not mendatory-extras:
1) support other deflating formats (7z, rar. , etc.)
2) cross platform libraty is a plus

what disgust me:
1) evil C api's
2) complicated api's for simple zipping/unzipping

so, as you might guess I didn't find such C++ library . :/
any recommendations?

Have you looked at boost iostreams?

I will take a look, but I don't use boost in my projects, so I'm not so fond of being dependent in such huge framework just for zip manipulations..

Zlib Filters

Check out the example at the bottom. Looks like iostreams has a simple c++ zlib wrapper.
