Dataset Bundle (ZIP)
A dataset bundle ZIP — a CSV with its JSON Schema, a README, and a LICENSE — the way datasets are commonly distributed. For testing unpack-and-validate pipelines and dataset importers.

What is a .zip file?
ZIP is a widely supported archive format that bundles multiple files and directories into one container, typically with per-file DEFLATE compression and a central directory index. It supports random access to individual entries without decompressing the whole archive. It underlies many document formats such as DOCX and EPUB.
How to use this file
Use an example ZIP to test archive extraction, central-directory parsing, per-entry decompression, and protection against path-traversal (zip-slip) during unpacking.
Code examples
unzip -l cities-dataset.zip # list members
unzip cities-dataset.zip -d out/ # extractRelated files
- 7z7z - LZMA2 ArchiveA 7-Zip archive using LZMA2 compression, containing a small documented file tree. For testing 7z extraction and conversion.
- 7z7z - Password ProtectedA password-protected 7z archive (AES-256, encrypted header). The password is “novus-example” — printed here on purpose so you can test encrypted-archive extraction. Contains only harmless sample text.
- bz2BZ2 - Bzip2 Single FileA single text file compressed with bzip2 — the container-free codec on its own, for testing decompression and codec detection.
- cpioCPIO Archive (newc/SVR4)A cpio archive in the newc (SVR4) format with four members — the Unix archive format used by initramfs and RPM. Hand-written to spec and documented down to its member list; for testing cpio extractors and converters.
- gzGZ - Gzip Single FileA single text file compressed with gzip — the container-free codec on its own, for testing decompression and codec detection.
- isoISO - 9660 Disk ImageA real ISO 9660 disk image with Joliet and Rock Ridge extensions for long filenames, holding a few documented text files. For testing ISO mounting, extraction, and conversion.
