Browsers ship a real deflate implementation now, so zipping a handful of files is something a page can do without a server and without a library. Drop files in, get an archive out; drop an archive in, get the files.
The archives it writes are real: correct CRC-32, proper central directory, ZIP64 fields when needed. On extraction it verifies each CRC and refuses entries whose names try to escape the target directory, which is the path-traversal trick that makes malicious archives dangerous.
What people open it for
- Zipping several files together to send
- Opening an archive to pull one file out of it
- Checking an archive's contents before trusting it
