service worker based web archive replay
wabac.js provides a full web archive replay system, or 'wayback machine', using Service Workers
wabac.js is a core part of ReplayWeb.page.
This library provides the 'server-side' portion for web archive replay, and an API for managing web archive collections, and is designed to be run as service worker (or web worker). The system handles URL rewriting and preparing web archive pages to be replayed. This rewriting system complements the wombat.js client-side rewriting system which runs on the client (injected into each page).
The user-facing UI for ReplayWeb.page is located at webrecorder/replayweb.page
Using the ReplayWeb.page is only one way to use wabac.js. Additional ways to use this library as a standalone will be added below:
The API provides all functionality for loading web archives and getting information about a web archive collections.
Documentation coming soon!
wabac.js 1.0 also included a built-in UI component. This version is still available at https://wab.ac/*
