This [[Module Library|XQuery Module]] contains functions to handle archives (including ePub, Open Office, JAR, and many other formats). New ZIP and GZIP archives can be created, existing archives can be updated, and the archive entries can be listed and extracted. The {{Function|Archive|archive:extract-binary}} function includes an example for writing the contents of an archive to disk.

| '''Summary'''
|Creates a new archive from the specified entries and contents.<br/>The {{Code|$entries}} argument contains meta information required to create new entries. All items may either be of type {{Code|xs:string}}, representing the entry name, or {{Code|element(archive:entry)}}, containing the name as text node and additional, optional attributes:

| '''Summary'''
|This convenience function creates an archive from all files in the specified directory {{Code|$path}}.<br/>The {{Code|$options}} parameter contains archiving options, and the files to be archived can be limited via {{Code|$entries}}. The format of the two last arguments is identical to {{Function|Archive|archive:create}}, but with two additional options are available:
