## What is archival?

archival is a library for building database-free content-oriented websites.

Learn more at [archival.dev](https://archival.dev).

## Examples

Lots of websites are built on archival, including https://archival.dev, which you can check out here:

- https://github.com/archival-dev/archival-docs

Another example of a super simple website is a blog:

https://github.com/jesseditson/jesseditson.com

Most websites built on archival are built with our editor:

https://editor.archival.dev/new

They can all be previewed directly in your browser, and when you're ready you can set up your own site with one click.
