zipfile Titanium Module
Description
A simple Titanium module to create, extract and add to (since 0.1.20) Zip files. Requires Titanium SDK version 1.6.3 or above.

var zipfile = require("zipfile");
The zipfile variable is a reference to the Module object.

});
win1.open();
var xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
xhr.onload = function()

var f = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,'test.zip');
f.write(this.responseData);
Ti.API.log('INFO',Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory);
zipfile.extract(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory+'/test.zip', Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory);
};
xhr.open('GET','http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1400234/test.zip');
xhr.send();
Zip File Creation Example
// This loads the module for use in the JavaScript.
var zipfile = require("zipfile");
var zip = zipfile.create("/path/to/zip/as/string.zip");
zip.addFile("/path/to/file/to/add/filename", "path/in/zip/filename");
zip.close();
Opening Existing Zip File Example For File Addition/Update
// This loads the module for use in the JavaScript
var zipfile = require("zipfile");
var zip = zipfile.open("/path/to/zip/as/string.zip");
// This will return false if it does not exist. Now, add/update files to it
zip.addFile("/path/to/file/to/add/filename", "path/in/zip/filename");
zip.close();
