Pakko Developer Docs

This is the developer and API reference for Pakko — a minimal WinUI 3 ZIP/tar archiver for Windows built with no third-party compression code, using only System.IO.Compression and Windows' own built-in tar.exe.

This site is generated from the project's own source and its checked-in documentation — the same files anyone can read directly on GitHub.

  • Specification — product scope and the version roadmap
  • Architecture — layer diagram, DI wiring, current public signatures
  • API Reference — generated from Archiver.Core's and Archiver.App.Core's own XML doc comments
  • Security — threat model, CVE tables, mitigations
  • Contributing — how to build and submit changes
