# ArchiveSpark



[![ArchiveSpark Logo](./logo.png)](https://github.com/helgeho/ArchiveSpark)



ArchiveSpark is a framework / toolkit / library / API to facilitate **efficient data processing, extraction as well as derivation for archival collections**.



While originally developed for the use with web archives, which is still its main focus, ArchiveSpark can be used with any (archival) data collections through its modular architecture and customizable _data specifications_.



### What can you do with it?



The main use case of ArchiveSpark is the **efficient access to archival data** with the goal to derive corpora by applying **filters and tools** in order to extract information from the original raw data, to be stored in a more **accessible format, like JSON**, while reflecting the data **lineage of each derived value**.



Examples of what you can do with it include: (see [**recipes**](docs/Recipes.md) for code examples)



* Selecting a **subset of your data** and **extracting desired properties** (e.g., title, entities, ...)

* Running a **(temporal) data analysis** on the filtered / extracted / derived data

* Generating **hyperlink or knowledge graphs** for downstream applications 

* **Processing archived webpages** and extracting embedded resources

* Downloading **remote WARC/CDX data from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine**



### New in 3.0



* Namespace changed to `org.archive.webservices.archivespark`.

* Extensive overhaul to be based on _Sparkling_, Internet Archive's internal data processing library, which is now partially included under `org.archive.webservices.sparkling`.

* _ArchiveSpark_ will evolve as _Sparkling_ evolves and automatically benefit from new features and bugfixes.

* Streamlined with all unused / unnecessary / academic / experimental features being removed.

* Refactored / cleaned up / simplified ArchiveSpark's public APIs.
