WARC

WARC (Web ARChive) is a file format used to store and archive web pages and their associated data, such as images and scripts, as they appeared at a specific point in time. It allows organizations like libraries, researchers, and internet archivists to preserve digital content for future access, analysis, and reference. Essentially, WARC captures a snapshot of the web, ensuring that even if the original pages are changed or removed, the archived version remains available. This helps in maintaining historical records of web content in a portable, standardized format.
