# Class ZipFile

java.lang.Object
java.util.zip.ZipFile

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Closeable`, `AutoCloseable`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `JarFile`

public class ZipFile extends Object implements Closeable
This class is used to read entries from a ZIP file.

Unless otherwise noted, passing a `null` argument to a constructor or method in this class will cause a `NullPointerException` to be thrown.

API Note:
  To release resources used by this `ZipFile`, the `close()` method should be called explicitly or by try-with-resources. Subclasses are responsible for the cleanup of resources acquired by the subclass. Subclasses that override `Object.finalize()` in order to perform cleanup should be modified to use alternative cleanup mechanisms such as `Cleaner` and remove the overriding `finalize` method.
