• Web Bundles

See contributing.md for instructions.

The development is at very early stage. There are many TODO items:

• Parser
• WebBundle Builder
  • Create a WebBundle from a directory structure
  • Low-level APIs to create and manipulate WebBundle file
• Use http::Request, http::Response and http::Uri for better engonomics
• Support Signatures
• Support Variants
• Use async/await to avoid blocking operations
• More CLI subcommands
  • create
  • dump (deprecated)
  • list
  • extract
  • Make these subcommands more ergonomics
• Focus the performance. Avoid copy as much as possible.
• Split this crate into several crates:
  • webbundle: Core library
  • webbundle-cli: CLI, like a tar command
  • webbundle-ffi: Foreign function interface for C or C++ program, like a chromium
  • webbundle-server: Experimental http server which can assemble and serve a webbundle dynamically, based on request parameters

This repository also contains a command line tool, called webbundle.

Archives of precompiled binaries for webbundle are available for Windows, macOS and Linux.

If you're a Rust programmer, webbundle can be installed with cargo.

cargo install --features=cli webbundle

Create example.wbn from the files under build/dist directory. This is similar to tar cvf example.tar build/dist.

$ webbundle create --base-url "https://example.com/" --primary-url "https://example.com/foo/" example.wbn build/dist

List the contents of example.wbn. This is similar to tar tvf example.tar.

$ webbundle list ./example.wbn

Extract the contents of example.wbn. This is similar to tar xvf example.tar.

$ webbundle extract ./example.wbn

See webbundle --help for detail usage.
