Plexus IO

Abstractions over files and resources: a uniform view of something to be read whether it is on disk, in an archive or in memory, plus the selectors and mappers used to filter and rename those resources.

Most people meet it through plexus-archiver, which uses it to decide what goes into an archive and under what name.

Status

Maintained, conservatively. The API is stable and widely depended on transitively, so changes are mostly bug fixes and dependency updates.
