• is more lightweight, but does not work in the browser,
• has no command line interface.

npm install decompress-archive

const decompress = require('decompress-archive')

decompress('path/to/archive.zip', 'path/to/dest', (err) => {
	if (err) console.error(err)
})

decompress(archive, dest, [flatten], cb)
