Support for .zip and .rar File Compression and Decompression

[RuizuKun-Dev]

I would like to request the addition of support for .zip and .rar file formats in Lune. These are widely used compression formats, and integrating support for them would significantly enhance Lune's utility

Proposed Features:

1. Zipping Support:

   • Ability to compress files and directories into .zip and .rar formats

2. Unzipping Support:

   • Ability to extract files and directories from .zip and .rar archives

Benefits:

• Improved compatibility with popular file formats
• Enhanced user experience by reducing the need for external tools to handle these common archive formats

please correct me if this is outside of Lune's scope though, from my perspective i think it's not a bad idea to support this functionality however that is entirely up to maintainers and project owner

These are formats which involve archival, not just compression. serde.decompress supports only common compression formats. Archival formats are likely out of lune's scope and can usually be implemented in pure Luau.

thank you for the clarification! can you please point me in the right direction for implementation in pure luau? thank you! 🙏🏻

There aren't any Luau ones that I know of, but I did find a pure-lua one which you can add types to yourself.

See zzlib.

This is out of scope for Lune unfortunately, so I will be closing this
