How to un-gzip file received from server on iPhone?

Question

I am using NSURLConnection to download gzipped JSON from server. Is it possible to un-gzip received data with libraries that are part of iOS (Cocoa touch framework)? I am somehow confused since a lot of people are pointing me to download some third party libraries?

I have the same discovery.The .tar.gz file downloaded by NSSession is actually a tar file — user hhh, Aug 16 '17 at 02:28

I don't know for sure if there is built-in iOS functionality for this, but I know that a solid approach is to use ZipArchive. Also see this SO question, and this one.

Is ZipArchive also for gzip, not only for zip? – DixieFlatline Jun 16 '11 at 21:23
