XZ File Viewer - Preview XZ Archives on Android & Online

GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud opens an XZ archive on its servers and renders the contents as HTML, PDF, JPG or PNG. An Android app makes one REST call and shows the result, so users can see what an archive holds without extracting anything on the device.

XZ is a compression format built on the LZMA2 algorithm, and it is a standard choice in the Linux world. Source code releases, software packages and log bundles are commonly distributed as .tar.xz because the format compresses very well. That makes XZ files frequent attachments in developer workflows, while Android itself offers no built-in way to look inside them.

The Java SDK for Android wraps the REST API and installs with Maven or Gradle. It comes with code samples and supports page navigation, zoom, thumbnails and selective page rendering, along with password-protected files. The same API reads more than 180 formats, which includes the document types usually found packed inside archives.

For an occasional file, the free online GroupDocs.Viewer app shows XZ archives in any browser. Testing the calls before integration is what the API Explorer and the free trial are for.
