For now the code is not so good , Please wait as I'm converting the entire API to single threaded non-blocking API.

QArchive

For a long time I've been searching for a easy to use archive library for C++ with Qt support , I came accross
libarchive , it was super cool ❤️ but it did'nt have a official C++ binding. Some C++ Wrappers for libarchive exists
like moor but I needed something so simple as 1,2,3 and also support Qt's event loop.

So QArchive is the result of the above 🐶 , it is a very small C++ Cross-Platform library 💍 that Modernizes 🚀 libarchive using Qt5 🖌️ . Simply extracts 7z 🍔 , Tarballs 🎱 , RAR 💼 and other supported formats by libarchive. ❤️.

QArchive can be easily integrated into your project because its just a header and a source file! it is also non-blocking
so its best suited for your Qt Projects!

Witness QArchive with your own eyes!

Extract and Read encrypted archives.
Give progress on the extraction.

Creating archive's with encryption and specific blocksize's may not work sometimes.
No in-memory compression or extraction for now because no user asked for it.
