*Available as of Camel version 2.11*

The Zip File Data Format is a message compression
and de-compression format. Messages can be marshalled (compressed) to
Zip files containing a single entry, and Zip files containing a single
entry can be unmarshalled (decompressed) to the original file contents.
This data format supports ZIP64, as long as Java 7 or later is being used].

== ZipFile Options

// dataformat options: START
The Zip File dataformat supports 4 options, which are listed below.


[width="100%",cols="2s,1m,1m,6",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Default | Java Type | Description
| usingIterator | false | Boolean | If the zip file has more then one entry, the setting this option to true, allows to work with the splitter EIP, to split the data using an iterator in a streaming mode.
| allowEmptyDirectory | false | Boolean | If the zip file has more then one entry, setting this option to true, allows to get the iterator even if the directory is empty
| preservePathElements | false | Boolean | If the file name contains path elements, setting this option to true, allows the path to be maintained in the zip file.
| contentTypeHeader | false | Boolean | Whether the data format should set the Content-Type header with the type from the data format if the data format is capable of doing so. For example application/xml for data formats marshalling to XML, or application/json for data formats marshalling to JSon etc.

== Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-zipfile-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
----


The component supports 5 options, which are listed below.


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *camel.dataformat.zipfile.allow-empty-directory* | If the zip file has more then one entry, setting this option to true, allows to get the iterator even if the directory is empty | false | Boolean
| *camel.dataformat.zipfile.content-type-header* | Whether the data format should set the Content-Type header with the type from the data format if the data format is capable of doing so. For example application/xml for data formats marshalling to XML, or application/json for data formats marshalling to JSon etc. | false | Boolean
| *camel.dataformat.zipfile.enabled* | Enable zipfile dataformat | true | Boolean
| *camel.dataformat.zipfile.preserve-path-elements* | If the file name contains path elements, setting this option to true, allows the path to be maintained in the zip file. | false | Boolean
| *camel.dataformat.zipfile.using-iterator* | If the zip file has more then one entry, the setting this option to true, allows to work with the splitter EIP, to split the data using an iterator in a streaming mode. | false | Boolean

== Marshal

In this example we marshal a regular text/XML payload to a compressed
payload using Zip file compression, and send it to an ActiveMQ queue
called MY_QUEUE.

[source,java]
----
from("direct:start")
    .marshal().zipFile()
    .to("activemq:queue:MY_QUEUE");
----

The name of the Zip entry inside the created Zip file is based on the
incoming `CamelFileName` message header, which is the standard message
header used by the file component. Additionally, the
outgoing `CamelFileName` message header is automatically set to the
value of the incoming `CamelFileName` message header, with the ".zip"
suffix. So for example, if the following route finds a file named
"test.txt" in the input directory, the output will be a Zip file named
"test.txt.zip" containing a single Zip entry named "test.txt":

[source,java]
----
from("file:input/directory?antInclude=*/.txt")
    .marshal().zipFile()
    .to("file:output/directory");
----

If there is no incoming `CamelFileName` message header (for example, if
the file component is not the consumer), then the
message ID is used by default, and since the message ID is normally a
unique generated ID, you will end up with filenames like
`ID-MACHINENAME-2443-1211718892437-1-0.zip`. If you want to override
this behavior, then you can set the value of the `CamelFileName` header
explicitly in your route:

[source,java]
----
from("direct:start")
    .setHeader(Exchange.FILE_NAME, constant("report.txt"))
    .marshal().zipFile()
    .to("file:output/directory");
----

This route would result in a Zip file named "report.txt.zip" in the
output directory, containing a single Zip entry named "report.txt".

== Unmarshal

In this example we unmarshal a Zip file payload from an ActiveMQ queue
called MY_QUEUE to its original format, and forward it for processing to
the `UnZippedMessageProcessor`.

[source,java]
----
from("activemq:queue:MY_QUEUE")
    .unmarshal().zipFile()
    .process(new UnZippedMessageProcessor());
----

If the zip file has more then one entry, the usingIterator option of
ZipFileDataFormat to be true, and you can use splitter to do the further
work.

[source,java]
----
ZipFileDataFormat zipFile = new ZipFileDataFormat();
zipFile.setUsingIterator(true);

from("file:src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/dataformat/zipfile/?delay=1000&noop=true")
    .unmarshal(zipFile)
    .split(body(Iterator.class)).streaming()
        .process(new UnZippedMessageProcessor())
    .end();
----

Or you can use the ZipSplitter as an expression for splitter directly
like this

[source,java]
----
from("file:src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/dataformat/zipfile?delay=1000&noop=true")
    .split(new ZipSplitter()).streaming()
        .process(new UnZippedMessageProcessor())
    .end();
----

== Aggregate

[NOTE]
Please note that this aggregation strategy requires eager completion check to work properly.

In this example we aggregate all text files found in the input directory
into a single Zip file that is stored in the output directory. 

[source,java]
----
from("file:input/directory?antInclude=*/.txt")
    .aggregate(constant(true), new ZipAggregationStrategy())
        .completionFromBatchConsumer().eagerCheckCompletion()
        .to("file:output/directory");
----

The outgoing `CamelFileName` message header is created using
java.io.File.createTempFile, with the ".zip" suffix. If you want to
override this behavior, then you can set the value of
the `CamelFileName` header explicitly in your route:

[source,java]
----
from("file:input/directory?antInclude=*/.txt")
    .aggregate(constant(true), new ZipAggregationStrategy())
        .completionFromBatchConsumer().eagerCheckCompletion()
        .setHeader(Exchange.FILE_NAME, constant("reports.zip"))
        .to("file:output/directory");
----

== Dependencies

To use Zip files in your camel routes you need to add a dependency on
*camel-zipfile* which implements this data format.

If you use Maven you can just add the following to your `pom.xml`,
substituting the version number for the latest & greatest release (see
the download page for the latest versions).

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-zipfile</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
