1. Zip Component: This component provides industry-standard Zip archive functionality. It is designed to be easy to use. You can pack/unpack a file or folder with a single line of code. If you need to create or extract Zip files on the fly, this component is for you
2. Base64 Encoding/Decoding Component: Base64 is the format commonly used to encode email attachments. Base64 is also the preferred method for encoding binary data in XML documents. The encoding takes 3 bytes of data and converts it into 4 bytes of plain text using characters 0-9 and A to F. Base64 is not encryption, it is used to package data for storage or transmission.
3. Buffer Component: This component can be used to read and write text and binary files. It can Base64 encode data and compute an MD5 checksum.
4. CSS Parser Component: The CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) parser takes a CSS document, converts it to an XML document and back again. Since editing XML is easier than editing CSS, this is useful when you want to programmatically edit a CSS document or build your own CSS editor.
5. GZip Component: Used to compress and decompress files using the GZip algorithm. When combined with TAR, it provides the UNIX equivalent to Zip archives commonly found on Windows computers.
6. HTTP Component: Designed for high-performance server environments, this HTTP transfer component can be used to fetch or transfer data from remote servers. Custom HTTP headers can be added such as "User-Agent". Control the number of redirects to follow and get the last URL of a redirect. Clean up response HTML with built-in HTML Tidy for easy parsing as XML.
7. Image Size Component: This component calculates the dimensions of an image. Supported formats are JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP.
8. ISO8601 Date Format Component: ISO8601 is an industry-standard way of formatting dates. The format looks like 2003-09-16 or 2003-09-16T19:15:30.45. It is the preferred way to store dates in XML because dates can be sorted using sort algorithms designed for string data. This component converts VB/VBScript Date object to ISO8601 format and back to VB/VBScript Date object. The component can also be used to construct a Date object.
9. MD5 Checksum Component: This component uses the industry-standard MD5 checksum algorithm to get a fingerprint of a file. If you are storing files in a database, this component is a must. To avoid storing duplicate files in the database, store the MD5 checksum along with the file in the database. Every time you save a file, take an MD5 of the file and compare it to the list of MD5s stored in the database to see if this file is already stored.
10. TAR Component: This component provides industry-standard TAR archive functionality. It is designed to be easy to use. You can pack/unpack a file or folder with a single line of code.
