QArchive is a cross-platform C++ library that modernizes libarchive , This library helps you to extract and compress archives supported by libarchive. The whole library itself is crafted to work perfectly well with the Qt event loop and thus its a perfect fit for your Qt projects.
I personally made this project to extract .7z archives in order to create a library that can update Qt Apps installed via Qt Installer Framework without using the updater tool provided by Qt , because I hated using sub-process and besides I wanted a in-built updater for my application and thats not possible with the already provided updater from Qt Installer Framework.
-
Single threaded and Non-Blocking API - Using Qt's Event Loop. (you can optionally run in a different thread)
-
Easy to Use API - Made some effort to match Qt's style.
-
Cyclic API , No use of mutex - The whole library is fully cyclic and therefore no mutex is used.(Only signals and slots.)
-
Drink the Qt Kool-aid - In a positive way.
Witness it with your own eyes,
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QArchive>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
using QArchive::DiskExtractor;
QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
DiskExtractor Extractor("Test.7z");
/* Connect Signals and Slots. */
QObject::connect(&Extractor ,
&DiskExtractor::finished ,
&app ,
&QCoreApplication::quit);
Extractor.start();
return app.exec();
}
