# IsCompressed `Zend\Validator\File\IsCompressed` checks if a file is a compressed archive, such as zip or gzip. This validator is based on the [MimeType validator](mime-type.md), and supports the same methods and options. The default list of [compressed file MIME types](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-validator/blob/master/src/File/IsCompressed.php#L45) can be found in the source code. Please refer to the [MimeType validator](mime-type.md) for options and public methods. ## Basic Usage ```php $validator = new \Zend\Validator\File\IsCompressed(); if ($validator->isValid('./myfile.zip')) { // file is valid } ```
