This repository contains technical specifications used by the Webrecorder project for building interoperable web archiving tools. Please help us adapt and implement them to ensure that web archives are easier to use, trust, and share on the web.
- Use Cases for Decentralized Web Archives: a summary of requirements and potential threat models for distributed web archives
- Web Archive Collection Zipped (WACZ): a packaging standard for web archives on the web
- WACZ Signing and Verification: the mechanics for signing and verifying WACZ files for proof of authenticity
- Crawl Index JSON (CDXJ): an extensible format for WARC index files
Webrecorder's spec website is built with ReSpec. The only requirement is that you run a web server locally to view the site as you develop it.
- Download a simple web server like http-server.
- Run the web server in the repo root directory.
