JSZip is a powerful JavaScript library that provides features for creating, reading, and editing .zip files with a simple and delightful API. The tool is widely used in client-side and server-side JavaScript applications for managing .zip files. Further insights can be found on the project's GitHub page at git+https://github.com/Stuk/jszip.git.

Using JSZip is straightforward and requires just a few lines of code. To start, instantiate a new JSZip object. From there, you can create files and directories using the file and folder methods respectively. For instance, to create a 'Hello.txt' file containing 'Hello World', use zip.file("Hello.txt", "Hello World\n");. You can add images or other files using similar methods. To generate the zip, use the generateAsync method, as showcased in the example below.

const zip = new JSZip();

zip.file("Hello.txt", "Hello World\n");

const img = zip.folder("images");
img.file("smile.gif", imgData, {base64: true});

zip.generateAsync({type:"blob"}).then(function(content) {
    // see FileSaver.js
    saveAs(content, "example.zip");
});

The above script eventually results in a zip file containing 'Hello.txt' and 'images/smile.gif'.
