Archiver is a popular npm package for file archiving. It supports creating and streaming archives in formats like ZIP and TAR. Compared to compress-commons, Archiver offers a high-level API that might be easier to use for common archiving tasks.
extract-zip is focused solely on extracting ZIP files. It provides a simpler interface for this specific task, making it less versatile but potentially more straightforward to use for ZIP extraction compared to the broader scope of compress-commons.
