What is it?

A Node.js library for simplifying the creation of compressed archives (i.e. zip files and the like).

Why did we choose it?

It has good documentation, performs well, and is actively maintained.

What do we use it for?

We mainly use archiver when a user requests a copy of their Deserted Chateau data. It's used there to bundle up the various files needed to make the data archive into one nice neat zip file.
