IronZIP allows users to extract protected ZIP archives with support for normal, AES128, and AES256-based encryption. Its versatility allows you to easily extract a wide range of ZIP files, whether lightly secured or highly protected. The library simplifies the process for mission-critical applications and easily integrates into existing applications or as a stand-alone extractor.

Extracting Zip Archive
To begin with, we need to include the IronZip namespace in our project, which provides access to its functionalities. We can then utilize the method ExtractArchiveToDirectory to extract the contents of a ZIP archive to a specified location.
This function extracts the contents of a ZIP file into the designated directory. The first argument requires the absolute path of the ZIP file from which you want to extract data. The second argument specifies the target directory where the extracted files will be placed. If the ZIP archive is password-protected, the third argument must include the correct password; otherwise, the extraction process will fail and result in a runtime error.
