possible to write zipped xml?

Post by squisher »

I am writing a "save game" feature for my game where everything will get serialized to an xml file. I'm worried that the file size will be needlessly large. I see a way to read from zip archive, but is there a way to *write* an xml file to a zip archive?

It looks like it's not possible without using an external compressing library, but i just wanted to make sure
