Ouch - simple compression and decompression for your terminal
archiver is also a very cool tool. I think its cli is somewhat similar to this.

folder to zip
https://github.com/mholt/archiver has a lot of helpers. Probably a good place to start.

Wormhole-gui 2.2.0 has been released
The next major release, v2.2.0, is out now. Most notably, this release replaces mholt/archiver with a custom zip extractor for faster directory receives and smaller binaries, adds settings for controlling advanced wormhole client options and a lot of smaller bug fixes. This release also incorporates the initial support for building on Apple M1 computers (release binaries for that architecture are currently not available though).

Simple, fast and safety alternative for unzip
There's one that's also written in rust: https://github.com/ouch-org/ouch

Ouch - simple compression and decompression for your terminal
I use for some time Ouch, It's a CLI tool for compressing and decompressing various formats (at this moment .tar, .zip, .gz, .xz, .lzma, .bz, .bz2, .lz4, .sz, .zst). You can compress, decompress or list archive. It's just one binary application, without dependencies and for my usage is very fast. I don't create a lot of archives, I usually unpack them when I download something from the web and so far I'm very happy with ouch. It has a simple command syntax. I use on my machines with Debian musl version from release page and on Arch there are packages in AUR (to build with cargo or binary version).

Is there a tool to handle decompression of multiple formats?
I personally use ouch. It suppirts a bunch of stuff and to quote the readme:
- Painless Compression and Decompression in the Terminal
-
Is there any command-line application that you wish existed but doesn't (or isn't as good as you wished)?
ouch - a command-line app to unify file compression and decompression
- Hop: 25x faster than unzip and 10x faster than tar at reading individual files
- Ouch 0.3.0 released!

Whats your favourite open source Rust project that needs more recognition?
Shameless plug here, my favorite project currently is ouch, nobody knows about it, but I think it might gain some traction when we publish it again.
- ouch: a small, cross-platform unified CLI app for file (de)compression
What are some alternatives?
