A Java library for reading and writing eXtensible ARchiver files by sprylab technologies GmbH.
This is the public preview version. It works for us, but it still has some rough corners and thus lacks consistent code style, sufficient unit tests and complete documentation. Especially the writing support is still experimental.
Use with care! We work on a fully polished version 1.0.0 and will release it, when it's done.
Thanks for your patience!
Open a .xar file:
XarSource xar = new FileXarSource(new File("my-file.xar"));
Open a .xar file from URL (needs xar-http module):
XarSource xar = new HttpXarSource("https://example.com/files/my-file.xar");
Extract a .xar file:
xar.extractAll(new File("extract-directory"));
Get a list of all entries:
List<XarEntry> entries = xar.getEntries();
Get a specific entry:
XarEntry entry = xar.getEntry("directory/file.txt");
Stream, extract or get bytes of a entry:
InputStream inputStream = entry.getInputStream();
entry.extract(new File("extract-directory"));
byte[] bytes = entry.getBytes();
Create a .xar file from directory:
XarPacker xarPacker = new XarPacker(new File("my-file.xar"));
xarPacker.addDirectory(new File("directory"), false, null));
xarPacker.write();
Download the latest JAR or grab via Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sprylab.xar</groupId>
<artifactId>xar</artifactId>
<version>0.9.9</version>
</dependency>or Gradle:
compile 'com.sprylab.xar:xar:0.9.9'If you need to access files via HTTP, add the xar-http module as a dependency, too:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sprylab.xar</groupId>
<artifactId>xar-http</artifactId>
<version>0.9.9</version>
</dependency>or Gradle:
compile 'com.sprylab.xar:xar-http:0.9.9'There is also a CLI version, which mimics the behavior of the original C executable. Download the latest standalone-JAR (all dependencies included) for direct use at the command line.
