What is the best way to find out i java.io.InputStream contains zipped data?
What is the best way to find out i java.io.InputStream contains zipped data?
Since both .zip and .xlsx having the same Magic number, I couldn't find the valid zip file (if renamed).
So, I have used Apache Tika to find the exact document type.
Even if renamed the file type as zip, it finds the exact type.

I combined answers from @McDowell and @Innokenty to a small lib function that you can paste into you project:
public static boolean isZipStream(InputStream inputStream) {
if (inputStream == null || !inputStream.markSupported()) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("InputStream must support mark-reset. Use BufferedInputstream()");
}
boolean isZipped = false;
try {
inputStream.mark(2048);
isZipped = new ZipInputStream(inputStream).getNextEntry() != null;
inputStream.reset();
} catch (IOException ex) {
// cannot be opend as zip.
}
return isZipped;
}
You can use the lib like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
InputStream inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(...);
if (isZipStream(inputStream)) {
// do zip processing using inputStream
} else {
// do non-zip processing using inputStream
}
}
