Extract GZIP
GZIP (GNU Zip) is a standard compression tool on Unix-like systems that shrinks files to save space and speed up transfers. It works best on single files, which are given a .gz extension and can be easily restored. To handle multiple files, it's common to first bundle them into a TAR archive and then compress the entire package, resulting in a .tar.gz or .tgz file.

Extracting GZIP Archive
We can easily access the functionalities of the IronZIP namespace in our project to utilize it. Specifically, the IronGZIPArchive class provides a method called ExtractArchiveToDirectory, which allows us to extract the contents of a GZIP file.
The ExtractArchiveToDirectory function in the IronGZipArchive class is designed to unpack the contents of a GZIP file into a specified directory. The first parameter required is the full path to the GZIP file, while the second parameter indicates the destination folder. Developers can rely on this process's effectiveness and security.
