adm-zip is a popular Node.js library for handling ZIP archives. It provides a straightforward API to create, read, and modify zip files directly from JavaScript. Key features include adding files, folders, and entries from streams or buffers to archives, extracting files with control over encoding and file permissions, and updating existing ZIP files. This makes adm-zip ideal for tasks like bundling application assets, creating installers, and handling compressed data within Node.js environments.
Adm-zip downloads show a generally increasing trend from March 2024 to August 2025, peaking at over 37 million. September 2025 downloads are significantly lower, likely due to the month being incomplete as of today, September 12, 2025.
