extract-zip

extract-zip is a pure JavaScript library for asynchronously extracting zip archives into a specified directory. It currently stands at version 2.0.1 and leverages the `yauzl` parser internally to handle zip file structures. Version 2.0.0 marked a significant update, introducing a modern Promise-based API that replaced the older callback-style approach, and adding official TypeScript definitions for enhanced developer experience. The library maintains an active release cadence, with recent updates (like v2.0.1) addressing critical maintenance issues such as the deprecated `process.umask` and clarifying Node.js minimum version requirements. It also offers a command-line interface for direct use. Its primary differentiators include its 100% JavaScript implementation, which avoids native binaries, and its adoption of the modern async/await pattern for all extraction operations, requiring Node.js 10.17.0 or newer.
