How to unzip a zipfile attachment in apex and process each file in the zip attachment

I have a requirement from a client to process an email via Email Services.  Unfortunately the attachment is a zip XML file.  Is there a way to unzip a file or read the file within the zip file using APEX code?

Do you have any good work arounds?  Like a middle ware that can extract the zip and send it to Salesforce.  Thanks in advance!

You can do this natively in Apex using the Zippex library which is open source. https://github.com/pdalcol/Zippex

Hi! Good afternoon. I need some help. I have a class of apex that sends data to a webservice and it returns me a string. Except that this string returned me zipped (deflate). I need to know a way to extract it. I saw things about the inflate, but I could not use it. Help?
