+- Create new zip files;
+- Append to existing zip files;
+- Zip files;
+- Zip-up NSData instances. (with a filename)
+
+## How to add SSZipArchive to your project
+
+1. Add the `SSZipArchive` and `minizip` folders to your project.
+2. Add the `libz` library to your target
+
+SSZipArchive requires ARC.
+
+### Usage
+
+```objective-c
+// Unzipping
+NSString *zipPath = @"path_to_your_zip_file";
+NSString *destinationPath = @"path_to_the_folder_where_you_want_it_unzipped";
+[SSZipArchive unzipFileAtPath:zipPath toDestination:destinationPath];
+
+// Zipping
+NSString *zippedPath = @"path_where_you_want_the_file_created";
+NSArray *inputPaths = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
+                       [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"photo1" ofType:@"jpg"],
+                       [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"photo2" ofType:@"jpg"]
+                       nil];
+[SSZipArchive createZipFileAtPath:zippedPath withFilesAtPaths:inputPaths];
+
+// Zipping directory
+[SSZipArchive createZipFileAtPath:zippedPath withContentsOfDirectory:inputPath];
+```
