Package Exports

warc

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (warc) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

warc

Parse WARC (Web Archive Files) as a node.js stream

This stream parses the Web Archive file format as used by the Common Crawl project.

NB: That this stream doesn't do any gzip decompression, it assumes a decompressed WARC file format. The WARC files that use used by common-crawl are actually multi-part Gzip files, and there is a big bug with the zlib library which is present as of the time of writing (node 0.10.32) which will only process the first gzipped chunk.

Installation

This module is installed via npm:

$ npm install warc

Example Usage

Assumes an uncompressed WARC stream. The content field will be returned as a node Buffer.

var WARCStream = require('warc'),
    fs = require('fs');

var w = new WARCStream();
fs.createReadStream('./CC-MAIN-20140820021334-00006-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.wat')
  .pipe(w)
  .on('data', function (data) {
    console.log(data);
