For Developers
ArDrive core with ArFS can save you time and unlock powerful capabilities for your next Arweave project.
ArFS
Arweave File System (ArFS) is a data modeling, storage, and retrieval protocol designed to emulate common file system operations and to provide aspects of mutability to your data hierarchy on Arweave's otherwise permanent, immutable data storage blockweave. It gives you the power and flexibility of a file system and total control over the privacy of your data on Arweave. ArFS works by implementing a privacy and encryption pattern and defining an append-only transaction data model using tags within Arweave Transaction headers.
Command Line Interface
The ArDrive CLI (Command Line Interface) is the best way to interact with ArDrive from the terminal and to bring the power of the Arweave File System to your automation and bulk file upload workflows. You can use the CLI to upload public or private files up to 2 GB, monitor network health and check transaction statuses. It also offers utility operations for securely interacting with Arweave wallets and inspecting various Arweave blockchain conditions.
ArDrive core-js
ArDrive core-js is the best way to programmatically interact with ArDrive in a Node.js environment. It is a TypeScript library that provides the essential building blocks that support the ArDrive CLI.
