Virtual File Systems: Overlays

This module provides utilities for creating simple overlay file systems from regular Java NIO file systems; VFS instances created by this factory can then be used to overlay a host file system with additional content.

Usage: Zip Overlays

Zip overlays use the JDK's built-in zipfs provider to create a new file system from a zip file. This is useful for creating a read-only overlay on top of an existing file system, or for creating a temporary file system from a zip archive. Elide uses overlay file systems internally to load internal resources.
